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.

The Functional Significance of Black-Pigmented Leaves: Photosynthesis, Photoprotection and Productivity in Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’ [PDF]
, 2013 Black pigmented leaves are common among horticultural cultivars, yet are extremely rare across natural plant populations. We hypothesised that black pigmentation would disadvantage a plant by reducing photosynthesis and therefore shoot productivity, but ...
