Abstract:
This study suggests a Kinetic Light Shelf Unit (KLSU) which is possible to change the function intelligently according to information for the altitude of the Sun. When the Sun’s altitude is high, the kinetic shelf unit works as the light shelf that can improve the interior illumination. Also, when the Sun goes down, the kinetic shelf unit operates as the vertical louver which blocks the direct rays of the Sun.
