Original Abstract

Spectrally selective coatings for reduction of heat radiation losses and solar infrared gains have wide architectural applications. Low emissivity glazings based on dielectrics with double or triple silver films provide light transmittance and more efficient reduction of solar cooling load compared with single silver low-e coatings. Smart multifunctional windows completed of spectrally selective and switchable glazings with photovoltaics in combination with light enhancing and solar concentration or redirection systems serve possibilities for self-powered glazed devices for energy efficiency and visual comfort in buildings. Improvements of the smart window devices durability and reduction of production and maintenance costs are important task for architectural glazing applications.
