Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
Exterior shading devices control daylight penetration and solar heat gain:
Roof overhangs (A) shade upper window areas and reduce direct sunlight in summer.
Horizontal louvers (C) block high-angle summer sun but allow low-angle winter sun.
Vertical louvers (E) control low-angle sun from east/west directions and reduce glare.
Horizontal girts (B) and spandrel panels (D) are structural or opaque elements, not designed for daylight control.
