Comparative Study on Performance of Wind-Catcher Shading Device and Other Types of Shading Device on Residential Houses in Tropics

The optimal shading system plays a significant role in sustainable environment controlling the amount of excessive sunlight and reducing thermal discomfort occupants. External device requires many design considerations such as solar altitude, control strategies, aesthetics to gain, improve visual reduce glare. Proper external can cooling energy consumption prevent an overheated indoor environment. This paper focuses on performance Wind-Catcher residential house hot humid climate. study focused effect using devices comfort. It proposes wind catching its compared other types devices. One houses climate is taken representative research. theoretical analytical approach will analyze three devices, overhang, box-type wind-catcher validate compare magnitude amount. result indicates that significantly reduces hours allows moderate flow into room rather than types.
