This study aims to assess the impact of shading on the thermal performance of a dormitory building in a hot climate. With the increasing need for energy-efficient buildings and occupant comfort, the role of shading in mitigating heat gain and improving thermal comfort becomes crucial. The study utilizes a dynamic thermal modeling approach to simulate the thermal behavior of the dormitory building under various shading scenarios. The performance indicators evaluated include indoor temperature, cooling load, solar heat gain, and energy consumption. By comparing different shading strategies, the study provides insights into the effectiveness of shading in enhancing the thermal performance of the dormitory building. The findings can guide architects, engineers, and building owners in optimizing shading techniques to improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort in dormitory buildings located in hot climates.
