Abstract

Interest in zero-energy buildings has increased recently, and solar control is absolutely required to reduce cooling and heating loads of buildings effectively. Accordingly, we developed electrochromic glass, which is a next-generation smart solar-control glass, and its effectiveness in reducing cooling and heating loads compared to existing structural glasses and shading devices was investigated by analyzing the optical characteristics of the developed electrochromic glass and by building energy simulation.

Keywords
