Smart windows play a vital role in Smart architecture by enhancing energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and overall building performance. These windows are equipped with innovative technologies that allow them to regulate the amount of light, glare, and heat that enters a building. They can also switch from transparent to opaque, providing privacy and security to occupants. Smart windows can be controlled via smartphones or integrated systems, allowing for easy customization of environmental conditions within the building. Additionally, they can reduce the need for artificial lighting, HVAC systems, and hence lower energy consumption and costs. Overall, Smart windows improve the sustainability, aesthetics, and functionality of Smart buildings, making them more attractive and efficient for residential, commercial and industrial purposes.
