| Summary: | Growing attention has been paid to different building shading strategies, especially self-shading techniques. Hence, researchers have explored various building design approaches for optimizing and evaluating self-shading performance. These approaches provide enormous potential for designers to express their creativity and adapt their designs to challenging climatic conditions. This paper introduces a comprehensive analysis of the most common self-shading design approaches and their studied variables, along with their associated evaluation metrics for assessing self-shading effects. Consequently, this study focuses on the analyses of solar radiation metrics and their simulation tools for evaluating self-shading performance. As a result, the findings show the capabilities and limitations of current self-shading design approaches, and their main design variables. Then, shading calculation methods and simulation tools for solar radiation metrics have been classified and evaluated. In addition, the future directions for different applications in this field have been conducted, highlighting potential avenues for further exploration and optimization. |
