Assessment of building energy efficiency with smart window glazing curtain walls
In this paper, two models have been developed to evaluate the performance of smart windows (whose technologies are based on an absorbing layer) in order to reduce the overall yearly energy consumption of buildings. Results of the optimization of the design variables have shown that the integration of this glazing technology enhances considerably the buildings energy efficiency. It is shown that energy required for lighting, heating and cooling can be reduce up to around 20% during winter and more than 40% during warmer seasons. This initial investigation is part of a larger research project aiming to predict the energy performance of new smart window technologies and to develop strategies of control to improve building yearly energy consumption. As mentioned previously, a sophisticated daylight model is being developed to improve natural light contribution. Furthermore, liquid crystal variable opacity filter prototypes will be characterized in order to give more precise optical properties to implement into the models.
