Abstract
The "Smart Glass Window" project addresses the pivotal issue of energy efficiency in homes by tackling the significant heat flow management. A primary source of heat gain and loss is solar radiation through windows. Conventional materials like window glazing are limited in their ability to adapt to changing environmental variables.
Our project combines a dynamic sensor system with an electrochromic window that can alter its light transmission properties in response to an applied voltage. This system collects ambient temperature and light data to make informed decisions for precise window adjustments, reducing solar heat gain and supporting the home's air conditioning system.
In simple terms, we've created a "smart window" that automatically adjusts its tint like transition lenses for eyeglasses. The goal is to minimize energy consumption for heating and cooling while maintaining comfortable indoor conditions. For example, on sunny days, the window darkens to reduce heat, lessening the workload on the air conditioning system. Conversely, on colder days, it allows more sunlight in to save on heating costs, improving energy efficiency. This project seamlessly integrates modern technology into everyday life by enhancing the windows of homes, hospitals, and offices.
