Smart Glazing Systems for Low Energy Architecture

The industrial and technological development in the twentieth century caused the increased emissions and heat, thus increasing the temperature of the Earth's climate. The increase in temperature of the Earth's climate led to a negative impact on energy consumption. That caused increasing rates of energy consumption to overcome the high temperature change. So, the researchers concerned since the twentieth century; with minimising energy consumption by developing smart materials that were used in the construction and finishing of buildings to save energy consumption. Smart materials in architectural definition is high technological materials that when placed in a building they respond intelligently with the climatic change, with different seasons either the environment is hot or cold to comfort or to get the human needs. This research aims to introduce one of smart materials; smart glass which was used in the construction and finishing of buildings and the different benefits in terms of: saving energy, comfort for users of the building, raising the efficiency of production and maximising the technical performance.
