Advanced switchable glazing using different composite layers of energy efficient and sustainable material for zero emission buildings (Ref: 4342-6)

在全球范围内，建筑行业消耗了40%的能源，通过排放二氧化碳造成环境污染。因此，为了减少建筑行业的二氧化碳排放，英国和欧盟都设定了到2050年底实现零排放的目标。建筑物的窗户是最薄弱的部分，这归因于能源消耗的增加。因此，用节能的新型窗户取代传统的单层或双层玻璃窗是非常重要的，在这项工作中，将探索一种新的多层先进的可切换窗户。这种新型窗户将具有多重优势：（i）与当前场景相比，这种目标新型窗户将有助于减少20-30%的建筑物能耗。(ii)该窗的目标U值< 1 W/m2 K，这满足英国和欧盟建筑窗电流目标，并且太阳能得热量值可以根据用户的需求在0.1至0.95之间变化。

Globally, the building sector consumes 40% of the energy that contributes to environmental pollution by emitting CO2. Therefore, to abate CO2 emissions from the building sectors, UK and EU both have set a zero-emission target by the end of 2050. Buildings' windows being the weakest part attributes to the increase in energy consumption. Thus, replacing of a traditional single or double glazing window with an energy-efficient novel window is in high demand and of utmost importanceIn this work, a new multilayer advanced switchable window will be explored. This novel window will have multi-fold advantages: (i) As compared to the current scenario, this targeted novel window will contribute towards 20-30% of building energy consumption reduction. (ii) The targeted U -value of this window < 1 W/m2K, which meets both the UK and EU building window current target and the solar heat gain value can be varied from 0.1 to 0.95 depending on the user's needs.
