Smart windows save energy in the home

To understand how the new technology proposed recently by experts from the United States, it is worth remembering how looks the easiest balloon.

It turns out a revolutionary new material is also based on a simple principle. Thus, the principle of the inflatable ball, how does it work?

When we inflate our bead is stronger, this leads to a stronger stretching of its surface. The surface of the ball at the moment and becomes thinner sootvetstsvenno transparent, which means that now the more light can penetrate through its surface.

It was arranged and smart windows, which have recently developed at the University of Massachusetts. Depending on the maximum amount of light will either pass the time of day and the room needs new windows host, or, conversely, to hold it. American experts were used to create these windows of special material, which is well stretched and its characteristics like rubber.




premises insolation level significantly affects the whole atmosphere in the apartment. House has such smart windows will help to save on heating and cooling air from the air conditioner. Furthermore, because one can reduce energy costs and which is used to illuminate the room. Through the windows so people will be able to adjust the room they need the amount of light that passes through the surface of the windows.



The technology is very interesting and, most likely, in the near future will be able to gain popularity worldwide. To date, the development of smart window technologies prevent the high costs of their production.

It is expected that in the first window, you can adjust the bandwidth of light to appear in offices and major business centers, which are usually characterized by a large area of ​​facade glazing.



Now scientists are engaged in improving the technology and plans to enter the market soon. It is expected that this could happen as early as spring 2017.
