Researches have been carried on to make energy efficient windows which also make the living space more comfortable. We are developing a novel multifunctional window for automatic solar/heat control using a phase-transition material in combination with a photocatalytic coating for antireflection and environmental purification. The window is highly visible transparent, almost totally ultraviolet stopping, with automatic solar/heat control and a variety of photocatalytic performance for environment purification.
