Adaptive Passive Cooling Cellulose-based Films for Smart Windows

Description

Energy efficiency in buildings is a key research topic for maintaining energy sufficiency, lowering climate impact, and enabling cost savings. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can account for 25-30% of energy consumption in buildings. Especially in hot weather, active cooling methods such as fans and air conditioners are heavily used. It is estimated that air conditioning units worldwide will be accounting for 45% of the total global electricity consumption by 2050. An alternative method to complement active cooling is passive, or powerless, cooling. Passive cooling systems can be reflective, radiative, or a combination of both and can be applied to glass windows, roofs, etc. in buildings and vehicles.
