A large percentage of a building’s energy usage is consumed by heating and cooling, but a new dynamic shading system designed by researchers at the University of Toronto could help. Inspired by the ...
A new, low-cost ‘optofluidic’ system designed at University of Toronto Engineering could enable buildings to save energy by dynamically changing the appearance of their exteriors. The inspiration for ...
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) approved changes to its NFRC 100 and NFRC 200 standards, allowing certain shading devices to be rated for U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient.
Three complementary technologies that together transform how buildings interact with their environment. This integrated platform combines programmable, photovoltaic-equipped shading devices that track ...
Researchers at Spain's Technical University of Madrid (UPM) developed a model framework to simulate the performance of vehicle integrated photovoltaic (VIPV) modules under realistic dynamic shading ...
