Provide optimal shading

Rationale: Providing shading on all windows enhances occupant control over temperature, glare, and nighttime darkness, which can lead to reduced task-related eye strain, contributing to improved thermal comfort and enhanced sleep quality.

For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
