Kuningan, South Jakarta is a Central Business District, which in fact is filled with skyscrapers which mostly uses reflective materials for it’s skin, makes the radiation reflected and increases the temperature in the air and also inside the building. One of few strategies that is effective to prevent heat from radiation is to use exterior sun shading.
