1. A method for determining an active shading strategy within a building automation system, the method comprising:
- providing a building HVAC system;
providing a building shading system;
determining an energy efficiency position for one or more shades of the building shading system;
determining a glare protection position for the one or more shades of the building shading system;
determining a shading strategy configuration for the one or more shades of the building shading system;
determining a room operating mode of a room controlled by the building HVAC system; and
determining an optimal active shading strategy as a result from the shading strategy configuration and the room operating mode.
