The usage of building energy accounts for 30-40% of total energy
consumption in developed countries, exceeding the amount for
industry or transportation. Around 50% energy for building services
is contributed by heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC)
systems. More importantly, both building and HVAC energy
consumptions are predicted to increase in the next two decades.
Windows are considered as the least energy-efficient components of
buildings. Therefore, smart windows are becoming increasingly
important as they are capable of reducing HVAC energy usage by
tuning the transmitted sunlight in a smart and favoured way:
blocking solar irradiation on hot days, while letting it pass
through on cold days. Compared with other type of smart windows,
thermochromic windows have the unique advantages of
cost-effectiveness, rational stimulus, and passive response. This
book covers fabrication of vanadium dioxide-based smart windows,
discusses various strategies to enhance their performance, and
shares perspectives from the top scientists in this particular
field.
