Active, fluidic windows for energy savings, load management and enhanced daylighting on U of T campus
Theme: Materials
Summary: Designing active, fluidic windows modelled after systems found in nature to allow for dynamic control of transmission, absorption and scattering of light. This can save 75% on heating energy, 20% on electric lighting energy, and 43% on total operational energy compared to the best available electrochromic technology.
