The outside shading of windows from direct sunlight has been recognized as an effective means of keeping building interiors cooler in warm weather. A review is presented of the various devices and architectural treatments for window shading. It is concluded that wider recognition be given to the very substantial solar heat transmission through sun-lit fenestration and to the collateral fact that the most effective way to reduce the transmission is to intercept the sun's rays before they reach the glass. Insolation interception can be accomplished with trees, overhangs, fins, sun-screens, or awnings.
