Exterior motorized screens interact with the building envelope's thermal performance at the fenestration layer. Understanding how fabric solar optical properties translate into SHGC reductions, ASHRAE 90.1 compliance contributions, and measurable cooling load impacts gives designers the data framework to specify screen fabrics with thermal performance intentionality rather than by color preference alone.
