Resumen:
A new design of a configurable scrollable awning is presented. It is intended to provide a new tool for managing snow and heating and cooling demands for air conditioning. This awning design could fit the unsolved need for a mechanically simple foldable awning that present designs have not provides. Its performance was numerically simulated, and significant energy savings was found in all seasons. This device was applied to the Skytherm roof, showing good capability for improving this. The potential of this new awning that could be applied universally onto every roof was discussed. This way, this proposal can help us to change present paradigms of low-energy buildings by a new one that intends the most configurable buildings.
