Advancement of Electrochromic Windows

Electrochromism of DC magnetron sputtered TiO2 thin films: Role of deposition parameters

“…Conclusions are given in Sec. 5. We find that proper choices of deposition parameters lead to films with EC coloration efficiencies on a par with those for the best TiO 2 films prepared by several alternative techniques and reported in earlier literature.…”

“…They can be integrated in multilayer constructions devised for energy efficient windows, information displays, etc [3]. EC-based fenestration is of much current interest and can provide significant energy savings in buildings [4][5][6][7][8] jointly with a comfortable indoor climate [9,10].…”

Properties, requirements and possibilities of smart windows for dynamic daylight and solar energy control in buildings: A state-of-the-art review

“…A field study has been performed on large-area commercial electrochromic windows of SAGE (Table 6) by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (California, USA) (Lee et al , 2005(Lee et al , 2006a(Lee et al , 2006b(Lee et al , 2006cLee & DiBartolomeo 2002;Lee & Tavil 2007;Carmody et al 2004;Clear et al 2005) of which the final results have been published by Lee et al (2006b). These field tests, together with simulations, allowed the quantification of the EC window performances for realistic office conditions.…”

Electrochromics and thermochromics for energy efficient fenestration: Functionalities based on nanoparticles of In2O3:Sn and VO2

“…Windows with chromogenic materials can impart energy efficiency and comfortable indoor environments, as discussed in numerous studies which also highlight other benefits such as downsizing of air conditioning systems, natural lighting, and occupant satisfaction [20][21][22][23]. It was stated recently that well-insulated EC windows used in commercial and residential buildings in USA would be able to save as much as ~4.5 % of the annual energy expenditure [24].…”
