Geometrical and material properties of the shading system in relation to thermal gains -- 3. Basics of shading design in relation to both daylight quality and energy savings, through decreasing the amount of electric light needed -- More specific requirements for the case of office buildings, is presented -- 4. Additional parameters of energy production that shading systems with integrated PV can support is presented. Limitations and constrains of the integration of PV influencing the final performance of the devices and the aesthetics of the building -- 5. Discussion and conclusion.
