A sunshade and drip course in architecture refers to a design feature in which a horizontal projection, such as a cornice or eave, is used to shade a building’s windows from direct sunlight, while also directing rainwater away from the building’s walls.
This feature can be used to improve the energy efficiency of a building by reducing the need for air conditioning, and to protect the building’s walls from water damage. Sunshade and drip course can be made of various materials such as wood, metal, glass and can be designed in different ways.
It’s a passive design strategy that utilizes natural elements to control the temperature and light inside the building and protect the building from the elements.

A sunshade and drip course detail drawing is a technical drawing that shows the specific design and construction details of a sunshade and drip course in architecture. It typically includes dimensions, materials, and instructions for installation. The drawing may also include information on how the sunshade and drip course integrates with other building elements, such as the walls, windows, and roof.
The detail drawing is an important tool for architects, builders, and contractors to understand the design intent and to construct the sunshade and drip course correctly. It is also useful for engineers, who may need to examine the structural integrity of the sunshade and drip course, and for building inspectors, who will use it to ensure that the construction meets code requirements.
It is important to note that the detail drawing should be read in conjunction with the architectural drawings and specifications, which provide an overall view of the building design and its components.
