This report by the National Energy Foundation (NEF) was commissioned by the BBSA to explore the benefits of solar shading to homes, commercial and other buildings. The report is the most comprehensive ever conducted into the UK solar shading industry and includes recommendations for the industry and those who specify and use its products.
This report highlights the important energy saving, comfort and wellbeing benefits of correctly specified and operated solar shading. It also identifies that current building modelling, building regulations and building assessment schemes do not correctly recognise the benefits solar shading can bring.
