La technologie des fenetres intelligentes et leur potentiel pour les batiments à zéro consommation

Abstract

In the current context marked by climate change, humanity is faced with the urgent need to find innovative solutions to reduce energy consumption on a global scale. It is crucial to minimize energy wastage by harnessing energy sources in a more efficient, passive manner. Buildings represent a significant portion of this overall energy consumption. Therefore, reducing energy consumption at the individual building level, even marginally, could have a substantial impact on a larger scale. In this perspective, advanced windows emerge as key elements in the quest to reduce buildings' energy consumption, thus contributing to achieving net-zero energy building goals. Smart dynamic windows are seen as promising solutions in this endeavor, offering the ability to effectively regulate the transmission of light and heat through building facades. Such windows not only help preserve external views but also enhance the comfort and productivity of occupants.
