4 Shade Planning for America’s Schools Chapter 4 The fourth chapter presents information about schools and school districts that have engaged in shade planning projects and reveals some successful strategies. The needs of every school differ; there is no onesize-fits-all solution to providing shade at schools. This chapter offers a glimpse of shade strategies that others have employed. Chapter 5 The fifth chapter gives the reader a basic introduction, or reintroduction, to solar geometry and the relationship between the Earth and Sun. Illustrations are included showing the effects of daily and seasonal changes in solar angles on the length and direction of shadows. Chapter 6 The sixth chapter guides shade planning team members through the process of conducting a shade audit. The shade audit allows planning teams to consider the needs of the school in relation to the quantity and quality of shade already available to students, teachers, and staff.
