“…This study identified multiple advanced smart glazing. Then, a comparative analysis was conducted by considering smart window properties, including thermal transmittance rate (U-value), solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), light-to-solar gain ratio (LSG), shading coefficient (SC), visible transmittance ratio (T vis ), solar transmittance ratio (T sol ), visible transmittance (VT), and reflectance to explore the efficient applications of smart windows in various climate zones worldwide [26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Color-coded continent maps associated with Koppen climate classification were utilized to depict efficient smart window types in every climate zone considering the thermal properties and visual features of smart coatings.…”

A facade can control interaction between the building and the environment. Advancements in control technologies and material science give the opportunity of using smart windows in a high-performance facade to improve the building’s energy performance and users’ comfort. This study aims to propose practical recommendations for smart windows’ implementation over various climate zones across the world. To follow this aim, 54 studies published from 2013 to 2022 collected from architecture, engineering, and material science databases and have been reviewed, and seven types of smart windows including electrochromic, photovoltachromic, gasochromic, thermochromic, photochromic, hydrochromic, and Low-E have been identified. Moreover, the thermal properties and visual features of smart coatings used in the windows and their impacts on energy efficiency and users’ comfort were recognized. Then, a comparative study was conducted to identify and propose the most efficient coating utilized in the structure of smart windows across different climate zones.
