How to be smart and energy efficient: A general discussion on thermochromic windows
A window is a unique element in a building because of its simultaneous properties of being "opaque" to inclement weather yet transparent to the observer. However, these unique features make the window an element that can reduce the energy efficiency of buildings. A thermochromic window is a type of smart window whose solar radiation properties vary with temperature. It is thought that the solar...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of VO2-based thermochromic thin films for energy-efficient windows
Thermochromic VO2 thin films have successfully been grown on SiO2-coated float glass by reactive DC and pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering. The influence of substitutional doping of V by higher valence cations, such as W, Mo, and Nb, and respective contents on the crystal structure of VO2 is evaluated. Moreover, the effectiveness of each dopant element on the reduction of the intrinsic transition t...
متن کاملVO2 thermochromic smart window for energy savings and generation
The ability to achieve energy saving in architectures and optimal solar energy utilisation affects the sustainable development of the human race. Traditional smart windows and solar cells cannot be combined into one device for energy saving and electricity generation. A VO2 film can respond to the environmental temperature to intelligently regulate infrared transmittance while maintaining visib...
متن کاملSmart Residential Energy Systems – How Pervasive Com- Puting Can Be Used to Conserve Energy
Energy consumption in buildings accounts for about 40% of total energy consumption [1]. The residential sector alone has seen a rise in electricity consumption by 54% since 1991 [2]. To a large extend, this increase can be traced back to the growing number of electrical appliances. While most large appliances (e.g., dishwashers, washing machines, etc.) have become more efficient over the years,...
متن کاملHow to be correct, lazy and efficient ?
This paper is an introduction to Lambdix, a lazy Lisp interpreter implemented at the Research Laboratory of the University of Paris XI (Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique, Orsay). Lambdix was devised in the course of an investigation into the relationship between the semantics of programming languages and their implementation; it was used to demonstrate that in the Lisp domain, semantic c...
