BMS & Integration of smart windows & intelligent skin into building design for reduction of energy consumption

he purpose of this work is to investigate the potential of diminishing the energy consumed by typical low thermal mass buildings for heating, cooling and lighting by using smart windows. The windows considered consisted of a double pane glazing unit in which a controllable absorbing layer is added on the interior surface of the exterior glass pane. This absorbing layer allows to change the optical properties of the window, resulting in a direct potential of control of the incident solar heat flux entering the building through the windows.
