Window air conditioning for home

Researchers at the Korea Institute of Electronics Technology and Soongsil University have developed intelligent windows that adjust the amount of sunlight that can be injected into the home to save energy.

When it is hot, the indoor temperature is high, the window glass automatically switches to the frosted state to reduce the amount of heat absorbed. Conversely, when the indoor temperature is low, the glass becomes transparent to enhance heat absorption. The main material of the product is a special polymer, which contains a variety of counterions and a methanol solution.

The advantage of this type of window is the use of cheap materials, which reduces the cost of production and has a lower level of toxicity, although the function is not inferior to other types of windows on the market. school.

In addition, the switch state of this type of window takes only a few seconds, much shorter and does not require external support devices such as previous technologies. The rapid transfer speed helps to minimize the amount of heat lost in winter and cool it down in the summer.
