Popis: This research looked to improve the daylighting performance of a shading device as a window component. The paper describes the development of the decision-making framework (DMF) for the selection and design of shading devices based on daylighting. The DMF presents the process of analysis of the shading devices' daylighting performance in the selection of existing shading devices and in the design of new shading devices. The research determined the shading device daylighting performance measures (such as illuminance and daylight autonomy) as well as the variables that influence daylight performance. Interactions among the variables and the effects of these interactions on the shading device daylighting performance were explained and quantified in the DMF. The DMF also included ways of presenting the results of testing the shading devices and the process of making the decision. A case study for three blind systems was performed to determine if the DMF provides a concept for the analysis of the dayl...
