Windows may be important for letting natural light and warmth into a room, but sometimes they let in too much, or let your artificial warmth out instead. Researchers at Oxford have developed a new ...

Windows welcome light into interior spaces, but they also bring in unwanted heat. A new window coating blocks heat-generating ultraviolet and infrared light and lets through visible light, regardless ...

A recent development in window coating technology offers a solution to the age-old problem of excessive heat gain through windows while maintaining a clear view of the surroundings. This innovative ...

Soaring air conditioning bills or suffering in the sweltering heat could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to UCL chemists. Reporting in the Journal of Materials Chemistry, researchers reveal they ...

Cranking up the air conditioner is one way to keep buildings cool, but it guzzles energy. Passive materials can regulate interior temperatures more efficiently, and now scientists in South Korea have ...

BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Heliotrope Technologies, a partner of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), today announced that it will begin commercial sampling of its low-cost, dynamic ...

A new window coating absorbs the sun’s warm near-infrared rays in the winter and reflects them in the summer while keeping the glass transparent (ACS Photonics 2021, DOI: 10.1021/acsphotonics.1c01128) ...

Scientists have devised a transparent coating for windows that could help cool the room, use no energy and preserve the view. Cooling accounts for about 15 percent of global energy consumption.

Advances in window film, transparent coverings that coat glass, let you get all the beauty of natural daylight, minus the heat, glare and damaging UV rays. (Photo courtesy of iwfa.com.) It could be ...

Solar-reflective Window Coatings PPG Aerospace’s neutral-silver and gold solar-reflective window coatings are designed to enhance an aircraft’s interior and exterior appearance while reducing cockpit ...
