“…Another important nanotech field concerns switchable glazing technology-based materials that make it possible to construct glazings whose throughput of visible light and solar energy can be switched to different levels depending on the application of a low DC voltage (electrochromics) or on the temperature (thermochromics), or even by using hydrogen (gasochromics). This technology has a large potential to minimize the energy use in buildings and allow for the nearly zero-energy building target (Granqvist, 2013;Pacheco-Torgal et al, 2013b;Favoino et al, 2015). Several commercial solutions are already available on the market (SAGE ElectrochromicseUSA, Econtrol Glas, Saint Gobain Sekurit, and Gesimat-Germany, among others) with a service life of 30 years and capable of 100,000 switching cycles, but their cost-efficiency is far from an optimum condition.…”
