Solar shading is one of the easiest methods of passive cooling. There are several ways to get cool: trees, shades, awnings, basic blinds and shades. SkyShield combines simple solar shading with a bit of technology in a really slick looking louvered blind that absorbs heat and blocks up to 90% of incoming light...

These blinds come in three varieties: wood, aluminum and glass, with interior and exterior options. All have lateral tension and can be controlled manually or electrically.

Check out these options below and plenty more examples at SkyShield.
