Novel Photonic Mems Smart Glass - Huge Energy Savings in Buildings and Personalized Lighting

Le résumé fourni par la source

Nowadays buildings consume the largest amount of primary energy only to cover lighting, heating and cooling. This is a major contribution to rapid global warming, rising sea levels, and profound changes in ocean ecosystems by emitting a massive amount of$\text{CO}_{2}$. MEMS11micro-electro-mechanical-systems. micromirror arrays integrated between the double, triple or quadruple panes of insulation glazing can automatically steer and control daylight dynamically in rooms according to user requirements. The light transmission occurs through the glass substrate. This technology includes chances for massive energy savings. The paper gives an overview of methodology, characterization and applications. A demonstrator enabling personalized light steering will be shown. MEMS micromirror array smart glass with area of$100 ~\text{cm}^{2}, 900 ~\text{cm}^{2}$and$9100 ~\text{cm}^{2}$have been fabricated and characterized. This technology has the potential for up to 35 % energy saving in buildings. This leads to new ways to sustainability, into green smart buildings and green smart cities.
