Smart windows that regulate solar energy by changing optical characteristics have recently gained tremendous interest for energy-saving and indoor-comfort applications. Among them, thermochromic smart windows are promising because of their simplicity for industrial production and ease of implementation. Although significant advancements have been reported on thermochromic materials, both optical and transition properties remain unsatisfactory. This review focuses on the recent advancement of thermochromic materials for smart windows in terms of operation, performance, and potential for commercialization. It discusses the parameters typically used for gauging performance and provides a summary and comparison of various promising thermochromic materials, including vanadium dioxide, hydrogels, and perovskites. The article also points the challenges in the practical implementation of these materials and provides an outlook for future development.

By means of experiment, the author analyzed the operation performance of the capillary radiant air-conditioning terminal integrated with DC variable speed new air unit. The results show that the operation mode that the capillary radiant air-conditioning terminal running combined with DC variable speed new air unit not only avoid the disadvantages of the capillary radiant air-conditioning such as temperature dropping slowly, condensation of moisture under hot and humid conditions during the cooling season, but also effectively overcome the problem that the cooling ability of the radiation surface is low caused by avoiding condensation, and the system can also take the moisture load indoor away as well as achieve the purpose of dehumidification. Besides, using the heat storage capacity of the capillary radiant air-conditioning terminal, controlling water- system of capillary radiant air-conditioning terminal to open and close appropriately can achieve the goal of energy saving.

Indoor Comfort

In consideration of the current situation that college buildings are still heated as normal without occupancy,causing energy waste,the on-duty heating will be adopted in college buildings without occupancy under the premise to ensure the indoor comfort requirements.In the case of one college, the energy saving rate and cost saving rate were evaluated for college buildings that used zone and time control heating systems for buildings of different functions.The results show that the annual heating energy saving rate is 34.5%,and the annual heating cost saving rate is 51.5%. In similar collage buildings, 5.48kg of standard coal and 14.43Yuan per square meter of structure area can be saved per year if using zone and time control heating.
