Switchable glass: Recent developments. Final report; Schakelbaar glas: Recente ontwikkelingen. Eindrapportage

Abstract

For the period of two years the Consulting Engineering office DHV Bouw ( Netherlands) kept abreast of the developments in the field of switchable glass to be used in the built environment. Online databases have been searched and manufacturers interviewed about the state of the art and expectations for the future with regard to the title subject. Switchable glass concerns windows of which the opacity can be altered by switching off or switching on an electric voltage. By means of this technique energy can be saved, because heat demand, cold demand, solar energy input and artificial ligthing can be geared to each other. First attention is paid to variable solar energy input. Next two different types of switchable glass are discussed: electrochromous glass and liquid crystals. An extended bibliographic overview of literature with summaries is presented and is also available as a database on diskette. 7 figs., 1 tab., 2 apps., 71 refs.
