Most Taiwanese houses rely on window curtains for shade. Although curtains are certainly convenient, they don't provide as much protection from the sun as shade on the facade of a building, and they tend to let heat build up and circulate indoors.
台灣房舍一般都以室內的窗簾來遮陽，雖然較簡單方便，但是內遮陽無法像外遮陽那樣大幅減低太陽的輻射，卻反倒使得熱在室內累積、流動。
