    Cooling Benefits (Summer)


    Reduce solar heat gain: Awnings block direct sunlight from hitting windows, which significantly reduces indoor temperatures and cooling costs.

    Lower AC demand: By shading south- and west-facing windows, they can reduce air conditioning energy use by up to 25% to 50% depending on climate and awning type.

    Improve comfort: They prevent glare and keep interior spaces cooler and more comfortable during hot months.


    Heating Considerations (Winter)


    Potential drawback: In winter, awnings may block beneficial solar heat that could help warm your home.

    Solution: Use retractable or removable awnings. These can be retracted in the winter to allow sunlight in, helping with passive solar heating.
