1. When the building has higher standards, shading measures should be taken when 1-2 of the following conditions are met

(1) Indoor (outdoor) temperature reaches or exceeds 29℃;

(2) Solar radiation intensity is greater than 240kcal/m2·h (1004.6kJ/m2·h);

(3) The depth of sunlight exposure to the interior is greater than 0.5m;

(4) The time of sunlight exposure to the interior exceeds 1h.

2. Awnings are suitable for shading outside doors and windows of low-rise and multi-story buildings. They are not suitable for shading outside high-rise buildings.

3. The material, thickness, specifications, dimensions and form of shading materials, the form and specifications of fixing devices, the power of motors (when electric), and the wind pressure of the use site are interrelated. It is necessary to obtain relevant technical information from professional manufacturers based on the specific project conditions and select them after comprehensive consideration.

4. Safety issues such as the connection methods between each shading system and the main building, lightning protection measures, etc., need to be determined and determined by the engineering designer and professional manufacturers based on the specific project conditions and be responsible for them.
