The intent of this publication is to provide information and important points to be considered when designing, specifying, and detailing installations of sun control devices for aesthetics and energy cost savings. It is not the purpose of this manual to be used for detailed specifications. However, it serves as a guide toward understanding the various types of sun control devices available and includes items to be considered to ensure their proper use and installation.

Exterior shading devices (sun control devices), such as overhangs, sun screens, and vertical fins, have a number of advantages that contribute to a more sustainable building. Interior shading devices, such as light shelves, reduce glare and help diffuse interior lighting.
