Stanford University engineers have developed dynamically tinting windows that can change opacity in under a minute. The newly designed “smart” windows consist of conductive glass plates outlined with metal ions. When combined with voltage, these windows can go from light to dark in no time. This newly discovered solution has the potential to reduce heating and cooling costs by almost 20%, and can be used in multiple application such as car sunroofs, airplane windows, and sunglasses. You Will Learn: • Tint-controlling approaches to improve energy efficiency • The pros and cons of existing technologies and solutions • How using metals is more effective than competitors Presented by the Energy Innovation & Emerging Technologies program.
