Energy performance analysis of Electrochromic (EC) windows is carried out. EC glass and control strategies are modeled and implemented in ESP-r. EC windows are evaluated, on a test prototype, as an alternative to shading devices. Set-points and measured variables are used to control optical properties of EC glass. Within this context, the paper focuses on the energy savings that may occur when using electrochromic (EC) windows, an interesting emerging technology alternative to shading devices to control solar gain in buildings located in Mediterranean climates. The EC windows technology is briefly presented and the optical properties adjustments of the glasses are discussed according to the operated range. The EC window dynamic behavior and the different control strategies are modeled and implemented in the ESP-r building simulation program. The EC window impact in the energy needs for heating and cooling is studied, considering different ambient parameters (exterior dry bulb temperature, interior dry bulb temperature and incident radiation) and set points for the EC control. A comparison of several windows solutions (single, double-glazing and EC windows), the type of building, internal gains from occupancy, lighting and equipment and the orientation of windows are considered for discussion through the analysis of the energy needs for heating and cooling. It is concluded that for this climate the best positive results are obtained when the EC are used in the west façade. For the south façade the results show no significant advantages in using EC windows.

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] While materials are considered to be electrochromic when marked visible color changes are shown under illumination, recent interest in electrochromic devices (ECD's) for multispectral energy modulation by reflectance and absorbance has extended the definition. 11 Chemical species are now being studied for modulation of radiation in the near infra-red (NIR), 10,12 thermal infra-red, 13 and microwave regions, and 'color' can mean response of detectors to these electromagnetic regions, not just the human eye. 11 …”

Electrochromic organic and polymeric materials for display applications

2006

An electrochromic material is one where a reversible color change takes place upon reduction (gain of electrons) or oxidation (loss of electrons), on passage of electrical current after the application of an appropriate electrode potential. In this review the general field of electrochromism is introduced, with coverage of the types, applications, and chemical classes of electrochromic materials and the experimental methods that are used in their study. The main classes of electrochromic organic and polymeric materials are then surveyed, with descriptions of representative examples based on transition metal coordination complexes, viologen systems, and conducting polymers. Examples of the application of such organic and polymeric electrochromic materials in electrochromic displays are given.

“…Although materials are usually said to be electrochromic when light is modulated by reflectance or absorbance in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum -colour changes perceptible to the human eye -interest in electrochromic devices (ECDs) for multispectral energy modulation, to include the infrared and microwave regions, has extended the working definition [1].…”
