“…Moreover, using DBRs for improving PV performance and aesthetics simultaneously can lead to unwanted effects outside the visible range. [20,77] Another negative effect of coating PVs with DBRS is the appearance of additional reflective Bragg bands outside the stopband. These, if not suppressed, can restrict radiation that is in the working range of the PV device, reducing its performance.…”

simple structure and selective and tuneable reflectivity spectrum, DBRs could be an attractive solution to applications that rely on or benefit from light control. However, high optical-quality DBRs are generally fabricated by physical vapor deposition methods [2,3] which are resourcedemanding and complex. DBR's use has been primarily restricted in laser research, thus blocking their widespread use.Liquid film deposition methods have the potential to circumvent the DBRs' fabrication issues. Recent advances in materials and coating processes have resulted in solution-based DBRs with a remarkable performance which is on par with traditional physical/chemical vapor phase deposition. This has resulted in many interesting DBR applications namely light emission control, [4][5][6] improving the performance of photovoltaics, [7][8][9][10] colorchanging sensors [11][12][13] and recently in catalysis. [14] While DBRs have attractive properties, it is very important to use them only in relevant applications and be cautious when reporting performance

The integration of building energy-saving measures during early architectural design and the energy-efficient retrofitting of existing buildings hold paramount importance in achieving carbon neutrality. This study focuses on five representative climate zones in China to assess the sensitivity of building energy consumption to ten key external envelope parameters. Leveraging two research prototypes from 18 high-rise mixed-use office buildings in the hot-summer and warm-winter climate zone (Hong Kong), the DeST platform is utilized to simulate the impact of various design parameters on the annual building load. Employing the Sobol method for quantitative analysis, the study examines the contribution of each parameter to building energy consumption. Findings reveal distinct sensitivities of building envelope parameters concerning heating load, cooling load, and total load indicators, contingent upon diverse climate regions and building types. Under the total load indicator, the heat transfer coefficients of glass and roof, along with the window-to-wall ratio on the west and south facades, emerge as the most sensitive design parameters, while the solar radiation absorptance of walls and roofs show lower sensitivity. This research offers valuable insights for energy-efficient design and building renovations, paving the way for a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.

“…While windows play a crucial role in maintaining the connection between the internal and external environment, they contribute significantly to the overall energy consumption of a building due to their transparent nature, which allows heat loss, gain, and daylight . Enhancing solar heat energy technology is a promising approach to decreasing the cooling load demand caused by solar gain penetrating a building through a transparent façade.…”

Balancing thermal and visual comfort in buildings necessitates effective insulation to counteract heat loss and gain, especially with temperature variances. One promising approach is to combine phase change materials, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), with high-performance insulators like silica aerogel (Siag). To bolster opto-thermal performance in building envelopes, we introduce a smart insulation composite material through PEG integration, i.e., PEGalyation with Siag. Central to this thermal behavior is the PEG’s phase change properties, which foster a shape-stabilized framework with Siag through their porous confinement. Preliminary observations indicate notable capabilities of obstructing near-infrared light while preserving satisfactory visible transparency. An optimized Siag@PEG composite with 5% loading of PEG has the visible range transmission of ∼92%, a decrease of ∼72% in thermal conductivity which is lower than pure glass and PEG, leading to a temperature dependent switchable hydrophobic to hydrophilic wettability characteristics. As a prototype window, the thermal performance evaluation of the synthesized composite, through experimental and computational studies, shows a decrease in indoor temperature of ∼20% with a higher temperature difference of ∼20 °C between outdoor and indoor weather conditions. This lightweight composite can act as sponge media to fill inside the double-paned window and for retrofitting existing glazing to boost the energy efficiency of buildings with facile manufacturing and scalability.
