Technology Connections just did a video on awnings. I'm not quite as puppy eyed about them as TC, but they are pretty darn effective.

I hope someone takes the idea from this video and compiles it into more solid and actionable data. I would like something where I can describe my window location and the type of window and it tells me how much cooling I would gain with an awning.

I believe this software is widely available to hvac contractors for accurately sizing a system. Haven’t seen it for mere mortals though
