Performance of the dynamic blind system
(DB ) compared to a static horizontal blind
(SB) system. Notetheuncontrolleddaylight
levels of the horizontal blind of 2400 lux, which results in higher daily cooling of 21%
and peak cooling loads of 13%.
Daily light-
ingenergyreductions were21%.

Performance of the dynamic blind system
comparedtoa static 45º blindsystem. Here,
thedaily cooling loadand peak coolingload
reductions were more modest,4% and 8%, respectively, comparedtothis partly-closed
blind;butdaily lighting energysavings were
46%.
These two examplesshow that irre-
spective of whether thestatic blind is hori-
zontal or partly closed,thedynamic system wins in thereductionoftotalenergyandpeak
