Solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth for a period of one hour contains more
energy than that consumed by mankind over an entire year. Some of this solar energy is …

Modern envelope glazing relies on nanoscale coatings to meet a range of specific needs.
Low emissivity coatings can improve the thermal performance of glazing thanks to a thin …

Electrochromic (EC) smart windows, based on electrochromic materials, are able to change
light transmission properties in response to voltage and thus allow control over the amount …

Electrochromism is the phenomenon where the optical properties (transmittance,
absorbance or reflectance) of a material are dynamically and reversibly changed by the …

Electrochromic windows, which provide dynamic control over daylighting, glare, and thermal
comfort, represent a potential direction in sustainable construction practices. This paper …

Electrochromic devices can vary the throughput of solar energy and visible light in glazing
for buildings, which are then able to combine improved energy efficiency with enhanced …

An alternative to passive thin film coatings for light and heat management through windows
of buildings or automobiles is the electrochromic window (ECW). ECWs function as …

Electrochromic materials (ECM) and windows (ECW) are able to regulate the solar radiation
throughput by application of an external electrical voltage. Thus, ECWs may decrease …

Electrochromic smart windows are able to vary their throughput of radiant energy by low-
voltage electrical pulses. This function is caused by reversible shuttling of electrons and …

Conventional selective low-e coatings for windows of residential buildings have a cut-off
frequency in the near infrared spectral region NIR, limiting the resulting solar heat gain …
