Static solar protection solutions like awnings, canopies, and brise-soleils have traditionally been used to help mitigate overheating in buildings, especially because they use passive design and are typically affordable.

One major drawback is that these elements are fixed in place, and aren’t able to manage direct glare from the sun.
