Shading Mask: a teaching tool for sun shading devices [PDF]
Automation in Construction, 1996 Abstract Sun shading devices provide an opportunity for the designer to control natural lighting, ventilation, and solar gain, all of which provide a benefit to the overall building performance. Through sun path diagrams and shading masks, some of the effects of these solar controls can be demonstrated graphically. This paper describes shading mask ,

An evaluation of shading device in tropics utilising the sun-path diagram
ARTEKS : Jurnal Teknik Arsitektur, 2021 Sun orientation plays a significant role in architectural design. Concerning this, the sun-path diagram is a tool for developing more knowledge to improve the quality of building design. For achieving good and thermally comfortable building design, the sun shading device is essential to work.

Thermal Performance of Horizontal Fixed Sun Shading Device
International Journal of Sustainable Construction Engineering and Technology, 2023 Earlier investigations on passive cooling methods applied software modelling, and the findings were not confirmed through field measurement. Hence, this study applied a stationary experiment on a real structure and weather conditions employing horizontal sun shading (SDH).
