The Passivhaus Institute is particularly keen to ensure that windows on East &West facades of PH projects have effective solar shading devices so as to limit overheating risk in the summer.
I have taught hundreds of Passivhaus practitioners and quite a few seem to have trouble with shading devices.  Words and sketches don't seem to work for some workshop participants.  Shading is geometry... so this video is a visual overview looking at how to better control solar access in high performance buildings.
