1. 1. Integrating Electrochromic Glazing Technology into Conservation-Focused Lighting Design for Museum Collections

   University essay from KTH/Ljusdesign

   Author : Adrian Stapleton; [2022]
   Keywords : Dynamic Glazing; Cultural Preservation; Energy Conservation; Historical Conservancy; Smart Windows;

   Abstract : Museums, art galleries, and historical sites house items of important cultural value. They must provide sufficient lighting to allow for the public viewing of these items, but are also responsible for conservation of them, which requires strict control of the light levels on delicate materials.

3. 2. Magnetron sputtering of highly transparent p-conductive NiO thin films

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

   Author : Martin Book; [2020]
   Keywords : Nickel oxide; Magnetron sputtering; Electrochromic; Transmittance; Absorption; Resistivity;

   Abstract : P-type transparent conductors are needed for a wide range of applicationssuch as solar cells and electrochromic smart windows. Solar power is animportant form of energy in today’s society as the threat of global warmingpushes the world towards fossil free energy. READ MORE

4. 3. Adapting building design to climate change for an office building in Stockholm through solar control techniques

   University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

   Author : Matteo Costanzo; [2020]
   Keywords : Climate change; Building design; Passive Cooling Solutions; Solar Control Techniques; Global warming; Energy simulation; Klimatförändring; Byggnadsdesign; Passiva kylningslösningar; Solskyddstekniker; Global uppvärmning; Energisimulering;

   Abstract : Climate change will affect many human activities and sectors. Among those, the built environment will face several challenges with respect to the varying climate conditions. The present study investigated the global warming impacts on energy demand and indoor climate comfort for an office building in Stockholm. READ MORE

5. 4. Smart window in Sweden : A comparative analysis of an office buildingsimulation model with conventional windows, andelectrochromic windows, based on Miljöbyggnadcertification criteria

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

   Author : Marcus Waldron; [2017]
   Keywords : IDA ICE; Miljöbyggnad; Electrochromic window; Smart window;

   Abstract : The building sector is one of the sectors that consume most energy in Sweden. Sweden aims thereby to reduce energy use in buildings by 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2050. To achieve these goals, more energyefficient buildings must be produced, and more energy-efficient measures must be implemented on existing buildings. READ MORE

6. 5. Energy Performance of Dynamic Windows in Different Climates

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsteknik

   Author : Hannes Reynisson; [2015]
   Keywords : IDA ICE; Building Energy Simulation; Electrochromic Window; Smart Window; Window Shading;

   Abstract : The European Union (EU) has expressed determination of reducing its energy consumption and the EU’s 2010 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive states that all new buildings must be nearly zero energy by the end of the year 2020. Dynamic or “smart” windows have been shown to be able to reduce HVAC energy consumption, lighting energy and peek cooling loads in hot climates in the US but it is difficult to find any work concerned with colder climates.
