Currently, the most balanced technical solution for sun protection of glazed areas is the Venetian blind, because it prevents the entry of direct solar radiation, but at the same time provides a view of the outside and allows light to diffuse into the building. The current challenge is to find an improved, integrated technical solution at an affordable cost that requires low maintenance, is suitable for every geographical situation (latitude) and adaptable to each orientation of building façades. The solar control glass façade FB720 presented here integrates into a single structural element the advantages of protective glass and Venetian blinds.

“…In fact, these examples principally concern all of the practically relevant thin fi lm specifications [2,3] , because a maximum refractive index contrast between the high-and low-index materials used in the design is favorable for achieving an optimal design solution in most applications [6] .…”

Although optical coating deposition techniques have been perfected over decades to prepare optically homogeneous dense coatings with smallest surface roughness, nanostructuring of optical coatings has proven as an effective mechanism to further enhance their performance while reducing their thickness in special cases. Therefore, nanostructure effects can be tackled as additional degrees of freedom for coating design, and can even lead to useful property combinations that are inaccessible to ' classical ' coatings prepared on the basis of the traditionally available coating materials. Examples include metal island fi lms as building blocks for spectrally selective absorber coatings for color management or solar energy conversion purposes, as well as motheye structures for antirefl ection coatings and the combined optimization of optical and non-optical coating properties.

“…Transfer matrix methods have been largely studied in the literature from different approaches (Centurioni 2005 These methods have their roots in the classical study of characteristic matrices (dependent on Fresnel coefficients for interference systems or coherent case) which connect the electromagnetic field components at an interface (Abelès 1950, Born and Wolf 1959, Heavens 1960 and the application of the method to thin films (Epstein 1952, Francombe and Hoffman 1971, Herpin 1947, Thelen 1989. The reformulation of these matrices in terms of coefficients relating energy magnitudes (through, e.g., the Poynting vector) allows the definition of transfer matrices as proposed herein.…”

This article provides theoretical developments broadening the scope of previous optical simulation models for multilayer glazing systems. The applicability of existing models will be extended through additional characterization of the multilayer optical components from global spectrophotometric (UV-Vis-NIR) measurements. A more complete interlayer film characterization, including reflectivity in the film-glass interface, will be provided. Singular solutions of the related equation systems will be derived for situations involving components with very low or null transmissivity. As a contribution to the fundamentals of the formalism, the condition relating the symmetry of the transmittance of the system with the symmetry of the transmissivity of its optical components will be studied. Finally, with the extension for the calculation of energy fluxes through the components of a multilayer system, analytical expressions for the components absorptivity will be derived. These results are particularly useful to quantify differences in energy absorption of the constituents of a laminated glass, as a tool to define, from the glazing design phase, the thermal and mechanical processing needed for each glazing component. Additionally, the model provides a procedure for the calculation of the absorptivity of encapsulated photovoltaic cells, which is directly related to cell efficiency in each particular configuration.
