To obtain a copy of a specific publication, users should contact the publication's publisher directly.

Abstract
The design of a building's roof overhangs - especially on the south side of a building - is an important step in designing a high-performance passive-solar home. The Overhang Annual Analysis tool is designed to answer the question, "to what extent is a window shaded by a horizontal overhang each hour of the day during each month of the year?"
