Electrochromic Glass; an Electrical Glass Help Control the Amount of Light and Solar Radiation
Electrochromic glass (dynamic glass or smart glass) is an electronically switchable glass used for facades, skylights, windows, and curtain walls. The glass helps improve occupant comfort, reduce energy costs, maximize access to daylight and outdoor views, and provide architects with more design freedom. Moreover, electrochromic glass allows the user to control both the heat and light passing through the glass, regulating temperature remotely. It works on the principle of electrochromism, which requires the use of a material that can change color or opacity when a potential difference is applied to a surface. There is an increasing demand for electrochromic glass due to these relative advantages over conventional glass. Electrochromic glass is made of two or more layers of material that can be thinned and layered like a fingerprint. The layered glass may have one layer which is clear or have another layer that is coated with color. These layers change the light tran...
