Energy Saving and Energy Generation Smart Window with Active Control and Antifreezing Functions
Advanced Science, 2022 Windows are the least energy efficient part of the buildings, as building accounts for 40% of global energy consumption. Traditional smart windows can only regulate solar transmission, while all the solar energy on the window is wasted.
