Design and Energy Performance of a Buoyancy Driven Exterior Shading Device for Building Application in Taiwan

Traditional dynamic shading systems are usually driven by electricity for continuously controlling the angle of blind slats to minimize the indoor solar heat gain over times. This paper proposed a novel design of buoyancy driven dynamic shading system, using only minimum amount of electricity. The e...
