Effect of internal shading devices towards building energy efficiency in hot and humid climate

Energy Efficiency is important to ensure our country's natural resources are adequate for future generation. Data in annual statistic from Malaysia Energy Commission shows that commercial buildings, such as an office building, are the second largest consumers of the electricity in this country....
