摘要：

Design of contemporary glass-box office buildings is unsuitable for the tropical climate of Uganda Overheating is commonplace in indoor spaces because glazed facades are exposed to beam radiation from all directions everyday, through the year. As a result high-energy loads are associated with space cooling. These energy loads are significant for the context where only 15% of the population has access to electricity accompanied by regular load shedding and black outs. This research posits that shading to reduce cooling energy loads coupled with PV generation can improve overall energy availability for the country.
