  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...

  Interior designing is one such field where there is massive scope for creativity and artistry. With the advent of innovative products, materials, and novel technologies, the interior design of a house or office settings can be made attractive and pleasing.    Electrochromic glass or also referred to as smart glass is an electronically tintable glass used for windows, facades, skylights, and curtain walls. By varying, the amount of energy reflected, electrochromic can be used to alter the visual impact of a room in general. There are many different types of electrochromic. Some applications may include thermal and cooling, privacy, sun control and energy conservation, security, and fire protection. Furthermore, there are also many more general uses such as in glass doors and windows, countertops, furniture, outdoor lighting, and more. While many of the applications for electrochromic glass have yet to be fully understood, there is no doubt that the ability...
