Windows of opportunity [smart windows for light/heat blocking]
IEE Review, 2005Though the technology is still far from commonplace, the glass and window industry has steadily been introducing smart product lines because the market is, potentially, enormous. This article presents the different technologies being developed for smart windows. It details polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal privacy glass, suspended particle display (SPD)

Toward colorless smart windows
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2021Abstract The measured properties of constituent materials of experimentally prepared ZrO2/V1-zWzO2/ZrO2 thermochromic coatings with a low transition temperature are used to optimize the coating performance by varying the thicknesses of individual layers.

A freestanding electrochromic copolymer for multicolor smart window
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2020Electrochromic devices with low-cost, energy-saving advantages, and controllable color switching have gained widely attention. Yet, electrochromic materials are limited for smart window due to challenges such as difficulty freestanding, monotonous color change, slow switching capability, and low optical contrast. In this work, a freestanding copolymers

SMART WINDORO V1.0: Smart window cleaning robot
2012 9th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI), 2012This paper describes the smart windoro which is the follow-up model of the windoro. The windoro is the world's first commercialized window cleaning robot, which is a fully autonomous intelligent window cleaning robot. The windoro adheres to the surface of window glass by means of four permanent magnet pairs between an inner unit and an outer unit ...

Eco-efficiency evaluation of a smart window prototype
Science of The Total Environment, 2006An eco-efficiency analysis was conducted using indicators suitably defined to evaluate the performance of an electrochromic window acting as an energy saving component in buildings. Combining the indicators for various parameters (control scenario, expected lifetime, climatic type, purchase cost) significant conclusions are drawn for the development ...

Smart windows switch on the light
IEEE Circuits and Devices Magazine, 1992Optical switching devices for regulating incident solar energy that can replace traditional windows in buildings, vehicles, and aircraft are discussed. The chromogenic material in these smart windows exhibits a large change in optical properties with variation in applied electrical field, charge, light intensity, spectral composition, or temperature ...

A smart window that powers itself
C&EN Global Enterprise, 2016Smart windows that go from see-through to opaque at the flip of a switch can provide privacy at night and help buildings stay cool on sunny days. By integrating a simple solar cell into this type of switchable glass, researchers have made a smart window that can power itself (ACS Photonics 2016, DOI: 10.1021/acsphotonics.6b00518). Jeremy N.

Electrochromism and smart window design
Solid State Ionics, 1992Abstract An electrochromic device (ECD) has in its center an electrolyte or ion conductor, which is in contact with films that provide optical modulation, ion storage, and (transparent) electrical conduction. We review designs and properties of ECDs, giving special emphasis to transparent devices, i.e. smart windows.
