1. Components of smart windows : Investigations of electrochromic films, transparent counter electrodes and sputtering techniques
Abstract : In smart windows, the transmittance of visible and near infrared radiation can be reversibly and persistently modulatcd by an applied voltage pulse (~2 V). The micrometer-thick multi-layer structure contains two electrodes capable of charge insertion. One of these electrodes must be electrochromic; usually it consists of tungsten oxide. READ MORE

3. Optical Characterization and Energy Simulation of Glazing for High-Performance Windows
Abstract : This thesis focuses on one important component of the energy system - the window. Windows are installed in buildings mainly to create visual contact with the surroundings and to let in daylight, and should also be heat and sound insulating. READ MORE

4. Predicting Electrochromic Smart Window Performance
Abstract : The building sector is one of the largest consumers of energy, where the cooling of buildings accounts for a large portion of the total energy consumption. Electrochromic (EC) smart windows have a great potential for increasing indoor comfort and saving large amounts of energy for buildings. READ MORE

5. Electrochromism in Metal Oxide Thin Films : Towards long-term durability and materials rejuvenation
Abstract : Electrochromic thin films can effectively regulate the visible and infrared light passing through a window, demonstrating great potential to save energy and offer a comfortable indoor environment in buildings. However, long-term durability is a big issue and the physics behind this is far from clear. READ MORE
