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).

In order to avoid overheating in the summer in office buildings, I would like to add a shading control (EnergyPlus) that operates when outdoor air temperature and solar radiation is are both above a defined respective set point (W/m2).
