Shading devices strongly influence façade aerodynamics but remain insufficiently examined for wind-driven single-sided ventilation (SSV). This study evaluates how external shading configurations modify the external–internal pressure difference and the resulting ventilation potential. Wind tunnel experiments were conducted on a 600-mm cubic model with a 350 × 350 mm opening, where twelve shading configurations were tested under wind directions from 0° to 180°. A ventilation-induced force (VIF) metric is introduced by directly integrating internal and external pressure coefficients, addressing the limitations of sealed-model approaches for SSV. Results show that shading type is the primary determinant of VIF magnitude, and its influence is strongly mediated by wind direction. Panel-type shading systems produce substantially stronger pressure-driven potential than louver-type systems, with vertical and composite panel-type shading systems exhibiting the greatest enhancement under oblique winds (60°–90°), where façade pressure differences are most sensitive to shading geometry. Installation angle further governs the performance of vertical panel-type shading systems: a 45° inclination enhances VIF across wind directions, whereas a 135° inclination weakens it, while horizontal panel-type shading systems display only minor angle sensitivity.
The findings clarify how shading type, installation angle, and wind direction jointly shape the ventilation-driving potential of large-opening façades. The study provides systematic experimental data and practical guidance for selecting shading configurations that enhance natural ventilation performance in early-stage façade design.
