In this study, various facade designs with overhangs combined with electrochromic window control strategies were modeled with a prototypical commercial office building in a hot and cold climate using the DOE 2.1E building energy simulation program. Annual total energy use (ATE), peak electric demand (PED), average daylight illuminance (DI), and daylight glare index (DGI) were computed and compared to determine which combinations of fa?ade design and control strategies yielded the greatest energy efficiency, daylight amenity, and visual comfort. Keywords: Electrochromic windows, overhangs, building energy simulations, visual comfort
