Abstract: This study presents a simulation-based approach to investigate the influence of control and finishing of internal blinds on building performance. Three control patterns were combined with two finishings of internal blinds in spaces with different solar orientations, windowto-wall ratios and width-to-depth ratios. Building performance simulations were conducted using the EnergyPlus computer programme. Results showed that both control and finishing of internal blinds impact the performance of buildings. This outcome supports the belief that both designers and occupants must know how systems affect the energy consumption of buildings to boost their performance throughout the life cycle.
