Researchers develop bio-inspired smart windows for multi-wavelength light modulation

In buildings, the overreliance on air conditioning to achieve comfortable indoor temperatures results in significant power consumption and corresponding greenhouse gas emissions. As a viable technology to economize building energy consumption, the installation of smart windows that can block solar radiation and regulate indoor temperature is very important for the construction of zero-energy buildings. However, existing smart windows mainly change their optical properties through light, thermal, and electrical stimuli to achieve privacy protection as well as light and temperature regulation in confined spaces. Inevitably, this requires additional energy consumption from external stimulus signals to maintain their optical adjustment performance.
