A Method to Determine External Horizontal Overhang Projection Considering the Window Solar Angle Properties in Hot and Humid Climate

A method to determine the optimum overhang projection ratio using total solar energy transmittance (G value) of a window system is presented. The method consists in determining the ideal hourly G value of the window and transmitted heat gains on main cardinal orientations; east, west, north and sout...
