Folks,
 
Does anyone have good research data using simulations on the impact of overhangs and shadings for a typical building?
 
I am having hard time convincing architects to reduce the glazing. They will make it a glass building if they are given a chance.
 
I want to show them that for a 2 or 3 storied building with ton of glazing and few feet of overhang will not help the cooling/heating loads at all.
 
I would appreciate your input.
 
Thanks much.
