Smart windows: Thermal modelling and evaluation

Thermal windows and heat exchange

Endothermic animals, such as birds and mammals, regulate their body temperature balancing the amount of heat metabolically produced and that exchanged with the environment. Thus, whenever ambient temperature rises and/or metabolic heat production increases (such as during exercise), adjustments to promote heat dissipation are activated to defend body temperature. One of such adjustments modulat...

Engineering Smart Windows Using Arduino

The Window, a common household feature has great potential to become an automated system implemented in homes across the globe. In this project we designed and constructed a prototype of a marketable Smart Window utilizing the Arduino microcontroller. This open-source platform allowed us to use a variety of sensors to evaluate internal and external conditions and adjust the settings of a room a...

Corrections Page 17, Table 6: The in situ U-value from Lauriston Place for single glazing with secondary glazing has actually been 1.6 W/m 2 K instead of 2.3 W/m 2 K. Clarifications The U-values in this report are measured at the centre of the glass pane, and are not whole-window U-values; except for the U-value measured by the National Physical Laboratory, refer to Appendix 1, which is a whole...
