An analysis of indoor air temperature and relative humidity in office room with various external shading devices in Malaysia

External shading devices have been utilized very extensively in office buildings in the tropics to reduce the amount of solar radiation entering into the buildings. In addition, the shading systems significantly improved the performance of daylighting by controlling the amount of lights levels of il...
