Shielding daylight by the use of cloths and to expelling warm stagnant air at the ceiling level by buoyant convection are widely used to prevent a Glass-Covered Space (GCS) from overheat due to excessive daylight transmission in summer. In this report, some shield models and cloths for controlling the luminous and thermal environment in the GCS are discussed. To clarify the effects of shield on the thermal and luminous environment of a GCS, the distribution of luminous intensity on wall surfaces were numerically calculated by using Monte Cairo Methods. The results shows that shield cloths, especially the hanging type, are effective for controlling daylight conditions and can improve the thermal environment of a GCS.
