Examples of Facade Components

 
 
Example 1   Switchable Layers

e.g.
thermochromic, thermotropic,
photochromic, electrochromic
electro-optical, gasochromic, etc.
 
 
Example 2   Light-Guiding and Light-Transporting Materials

e.g.
light-guiding lamellae, prisms
holographic coatings,
heliostats, etc.
 
 
Example 3   Selective Coatings

e.g.
angle-selective,
high transmitting and photovoltaic glazing elements
low-e and radiative cooling coatings
 
 
Example 4   Thermal Insulation Materials and Systems

e.g.
transparent insulation,
evacuated glazing, inert gas filling,
double envelope facades, etc.
