Development and Investigation of New Materials and Technologies for Utilization in Zero Emission Buildings

Jelle B.P., Gao T., Ng S., Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) / SINTEF Building and Infrastructure, NO

The demand for zero emission buildings (ZEB) and energy-producing buildings is increasing along with the growing focus on material resource abundance and scarcity, energy efficiency, renewable and non-polluting energy sources and carriers, and environmental impact. [...]

Smart windows for passive control of solar radiation as a function of external ambient temperature

Golding K., Gross N., Donval A., Oron M., Nevo D., KiloLambda Technologies Ltd., IL

A well-known fact is that nearly half of the energy consumed throughout the developed world is used for heating, cooling and lighting of buildings. Buildings are huge energy consumers, since their functions like cooling, heating, [...]

Nanoelectrochromics for Smart Windows: Materials and Methodologies

Gao T., Jelle B.P., Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO

Abstract By actively regulating the solar radiation (both visible and near infrared part) passing through the window aperture, electrochromic (EC) smart windows can improve both the energy efficiency and the user comfort of windows. Thus, [...]
