Set points for shading control
In order to avoid overheating in the summer in office buildings, I would like to add a shading control that operates when solar radiation is above a defined set point (W/m2). However, this strategy would probably block welcome solar gains in the winter. Therefore I was thinking about a double shading control that takes into consideration also the outdoor air temperature. So, if outdoor air temperature > SetPoint1 & solar radiation > SetPoint2 then the shading device is lowered. Do you have an idea of typical values for SetPoint1 (°C) and SetPoint2 (W/m2)? I am working with EnergyPlus and Modelica, but I guess this is a general question. The building is located in Copenhagen (Denmark).

I forgot to say that it is an office building.
Hi @AleMac - just to say you can edit your question to add more detail if you like.
@Jamie Bull -thanks, I have just added more details
I would think that this is dependent on location/climate class so you might want to add that to the question.
