All Credits: Window Shade Fabric Selection: A Performance-Based Approach  

Selecting shade fabric based on performance. Specifying interior roller shade fabrics is not a simple interior design decision. Rather, the shade fabric impacts occupant comfort and performance, productivity, and energy efficiencies, and should be evaluated with a whole building approach taking into account the lighting, building facade, surroundings, and location. Various modeling tools can assist designers with fine-tuning material selection, weaves, color, and openness and view through factors for optimized comfort, performance, and aesthetics.
