Different materials can be mixed to enhance the aesthetics and ambiance of the building.
Choosing the right shade color can have a dramatic performance and aesthetic effect in any building. Doing it correctly, however, isn’t simply black and white.
Performance-based design concepts emphasize the value of design and material selections as they relate to the successful implementation of the building. For instance, selection decisions such as shade fabric color and Openness Factor (OF) can impact the available daylighting for building occupants. As a result, architects, designers and building owners are incentivized to employ technologies that enhance daylighting, preserve views to the outdoors, and contribute to overall occupant wellbeing.
