Energy and daylight performance of a smart window: Window integrated with thermotropic parallel slat-transparent insulation material

With the increasing awareness of building energy efficiency, indoor environment quality for human wellbeing and working efforts have intensified in to inventing intelligent components. This paper provides a first step developing novel multi-effect smart window system, which achieves enhanced efficiency an improved luminous by integrating Transparent Insulation Material (TIM) structure incorporating Thermotropic material. system automatically regulates admittance solar heat natural light into responding changing while taking advantage increased thermal resistance scattered daylight integrated TIM. A comprehensive workflow via EnergyPlus RADIANCE was used accurately predict performance applying on typical south-facing office under selected climates (London, Stockholm, Rome Singapore). The effect optical properties transition temperature thermotropic material explored detail. Annual simulation results that, with careful selection properties, installing TT PS-TIM is able yield up 27.1% saving when compared conventional double glazed window, modelled climate. windows also provide dynamic control, resulting availability percentage hours that fall UDI500–2000 lx range 62.3%. this research guidance next design development seek balance control through use materials.
