Abstract
Buildings that simultaneously provide natural illumination and thermal comfort for all seasons have met increasing demand as conventional resource limitations are realized. In this sense, organic and metal-dielectric coatings are tested, and a simple coated, double-glazed window with solar blinds is conceived that includes passive infrared reflection, active illumination control and integration to the building envelope. As result, a proper spectrally selective coating is applied to produce a low-emissivity solar window with climate-adaptive use of the reflected infrared.
