Questions for Further Study
It would be interesting to do a comparable study of a window area which has no shading devices, and of a window that rather than shading shelves, has light shelves designed to throw daylight deep into a building. Would glare exist in these conditions as well, or would it be better controlled than by Wurster's shading shelves.

These models are not actually to the right dimensions of the building, as I did not actually have those dimensions, and I didn't need to spend much time on it anyway, as I was using them as a fun way to show the building and its windows.
