Abstract
To allow more daylighting and protect against direct solar radiation, the system may include a window shading system that impacts an area (or area of interest). The system may adjust different window shades in different ways and for different periods of time to protect against a direct solar radiation onto an area of interest. The system may provide targeted shadows onto the area of interest. The system may also analyze or predict angles of solar rays that comprise the direct solar radiation and determine an impact of the solar rays on the area of interest, wherein the adjusting of window shades is based on the determining.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- adjusting, by a processor, a first window shade a first adjustment to create a first pattern of shade on an area of interest;
- adjusting, by the processor, a second window shade a second adjustment to create a second pattern of shade on the area of interest;
- adjusting, by the processor, a third window shade a third adjustment to create a third pattern of shade on the area of interest;
- and
- creating, by the processor, an overall pattern of shade by the combination of the first pattern of shade, the second pattern of shade and the third pattern of shade on the area of interest.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- adjusting, by the processor, a first window shade a first adjustment to create a first pattern of shade on an area of interest;
- adjusting, by the processor, a second window shade a second adjustment to create a second pattern of shade on the area of interest;
- adjusting, by the processor, a third window shade a third adjustment to create a third pattern of shade on the area of interest;
- and
- creating, by the processor, an overall pattern of shade by the combination of the first pattern of shade, the second pattern of shade and the third pattern of shade on the area of interest.
