Specifying Shading for Cavity Facades

The shift from traditional curtain walls to high-performance facades demands smarter shading solutions. Open Cavity and Closed Cavity Facades offer superior energy efficiency and design flexibility, but their effectiveness relies on well-integrated shading systems. Without careful selection, issues like overheating, glare, and maintenance challenges can undermine performance.

Specifying Shading Systems for Open Cavity Facades & Closed Cavity Facades: Key Design Considerations & Real-World Applications examines the key considerations for specifying shading in OCF and CCF applications, balancing durability, functionality, and sustainability. This paper equips design professionals with insights on optimising facade design through effective shading strategies, supported by real-life examples.
