SMART GLASS

A NEW AND INNOVATIVE ENERGY-SAVING

TECHNOLOGY

PRESENTED BY SHIELA MAE D. LIWANAG

ENERGY CONSERVATION TECHNOLOGY
● THE EARTH ONLY HAS A LIMITED SUPPLY
OF ENERGY SINCE ENERGY CAN NEITHER
BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED.

● DUE TO THAT REASON, THE EARTH TAKE

ITS TIME TO REPLENISH ITS OWN
SUPPLY SO SUCH EFFORTS TO
CONSERVE ENERGY AND ALSO REDUCE
ITS USAGE IS NEEDED.

● TECHNOLOGIES MADE WITH AN

ENERGY-SAVING FUNCTION ARE LIFE
SAVING AS IT REDUCES POLLUTION AND
CONSERVE NATURAL RESOURCES. IT CAN
ALSO CONVERT ENERGY SOURCES TO
ENERGY SERVICES THAT CAN BE
UTILIZED EVERY DAY.

THIS IS THEIR COLLABORATED WORK ON SMART FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR
ENERGY-SAVING DEVICES.
THE TYPE OF INVENTION
HERE IS WHAT THE COATING MATERIAL LOOKS LIKE

Scalable thermochromic smart windows with passive radiative

cooling regulation also called as “Self-adaptive smart glass”

Self-adaptive glass made with vanadium dioxide nanoparticles composite,

the transparent thermoplastic PMMA, and low-emissivity coating.
THE MECHANISM
HOW IT WORKS:

● SELF-ADAPTS TO THE CHANGING OF TEMPERATURES ON A

WIDE RANGE OF CLIMATE TYPES
● SIMULTANEOUSLY MODULATES HEATING AND COOLING
● MODULATES BOTH SOLAR TRANSMISSION AND RADIATIVE
COOLING

HOW IT CONSERVES ENERGY:

● NO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SO IT ONLY ABSORBS SPECTRUM

OF LIGHTS RESPONSIBLE FOR HEATING AND COOLING
● CUTS ENERGY CONSUMPTION DESPITE OF TEMPERATURE
FLUCTUATIONS IN HOT AND COLD SEASONS.
