Smart Windows: Revolutionizing Architecture and Energy Efficiency

Smart windows are transforming modern architecture by combining advanced materials, automation, and energy-saving technologies. Unlike traditional glass, these windows can adjust their transparency, light transmission, and heat control in real-time, offering enhanced comfort, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.

What Are Smart Windows?

A smart window integrates technologies that allow it to dynamically change its properties in response to environmental conditions or user input. Common types include electrochromic, polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), and suspended particle devices (SPD). These windows can darken or lighten on demand, reduce glare, control solar heat gain, and improve privacy without additional shading devices.

Key Technologies

• Electrochromic Windows: Use voltage to change the tint, providing gradual control over light and heat.
