An assessment on glare from daylight through variuos designs of shading devices in hot humid climate, case study in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

Glare is one of the main problems that cause daylight to be visually undesirable in a hot humid country such as Malaysia. However, the design of modern buildings in Malaysia applies large glass windows and some partially covered with various design of shading devices, which are merely for aesthetic...
