Vetri elettrocromici: sperimentazione in ambito mediterraneo

Electrochromic glass is able to modify on command own optical features; modifying the level of shielding to the light and solar incoming radiation. The research group is focused in two wide thematic fields: the comparison of the performance between the EC and the Low-E; the evaluation of the contribution by the EC to the energy saving, using ever more increasing windowed surface in relation to the blind components of the envelope. Data collected allow us to extrapolate interesting element of discussion about the design of the building envelope, with a particular reference to the areas with the intense and prolonged sunshine.
