“…For example, some ECDs congurations for applications such as smart windows, goggles, e-papers and rearview mirrors, etc., have been designed to require the ability of tunable visible and near-infrared (NIR) light modulation. [72][73][74][75][76] Many requirements for EC applications in the infrared region are relatively stringent, which demands efficient manipulation of the IR light and heat through reection, transmission, and emission. Therefore, the design and preparation of IR-ECDs need to be considered for their applications in optical and thermal regulation.…”

“…Quasi-solid electrolytes are more suitable for large-scale, safe, durable, and multifunctional EC devices because they avoid the risk of potential leakage and the problem of a high expansion coefficient when utilizing liquid electrolytes. [124][125][126][127][128][129] Recently, Cots et al [130] reported screen-printed plasmochromic devices embodying stable gel electrolytes. As shown in Figure 10c, a large-area plasmonic window (30 Â 30 cm 2 ) using a gel-stated electrolyte was assembled to demonstrate the scalability of such devices.…”

Energy consumption of buildings during heating and cooling accounts for about 15% of global total energy consumption. Advanced dynamic switchable windows that enable independent control of solar heat will contribute to optimal energy efficiency in heating, cooling, and artificial lighting systems throughout buildings. Recently, energy‐efficient plasmonic electrochromic smart windows (PESWs) based on metal oxide nanocrystals (NCs) have been gaining increasing attention due to their effective and controllable regulation over the near‐infrared region of the solar spectrum without affecting the dynamic visible transmittance of the smart windows. Herein, the current state‐of‐the‐art results of colloidal metal oxide NCs for PESWs are highlighted, along with their design strategies and working principles. The recent research status of PESWs in typical colloidal metal oxide NCs is reviewed in detail, and the challenges and corresponding countermeasures in this field are discussed. Furthermore, an outlook into novel opportunities in PESW‐related academic research and how to accelerate the pace of real‐world applications is presented.

“…The fact that daylight entry and solar thermal gains cannot be completely separated makes such efforts necessary, but separation between thermal and visual light transmittance of window systems is currently researched in the field of applied material science. In this respect, switchable glazing makes it possible to control the transmission of light in the visual and thermal frequency range independently to a certain level [51,52], which helps to improve daylight utilization especially during cooling periods. Such a separation in thermal and light transmittance further increases the demands on proper control logics and strategies.…”

A significant proportion of the total energy consumption in office buildings is attributable to lighting. Enhancements in energy efficiency are currently achieved through strategies to reduce artificial lighting by intelligent daylight utilization. Control strategies in the field of daylighting and artificial lighting are mostly rule-based and focus either on comfort aspects or energy objectives. This paper aims to provide an overview of published scientific literature on enhanced control strategies, in which new control approaches are critically analysed regarding the fulfilment of energy efficiency targets and comfort criteria simultaneously. For this purpose, subject-specific review articles from the period between 2015 and 2020 and their research sources from as far back as 1978 are analysed. Results show clearly that building controls increasingly need to address multiple trades to achieve a maximum improvement in user comfort and energy efficiency. User acceptance can be highlighted as a decisive factor in achieving targeted system efficiencies, which are highly determined by the ability of active user interaction in the automatic control system. The future trend is moving towards decentralized control concepts including appropriate occupancy detection and space zoning. Simulation-based controls and learning systems are identified as appropriate methods that can play a decisive role in reducing building energy demand through integral control concepts.
