Reflective electrochromic thin film for retrofitting windows

About

Our electrochromic thin film turns diffuse reflective when switched on. It is the only smart window technology that is suitable for retrofitting existing windows. Unlike other dynamic window products which are only sold as expensive new window units, ours is a thin film that can be installed on to existing windows from inside a commercial or residential building. According to DOE energy models, our reflective electrochromic thin film is 43% more effective than state of the art absorptive technologies and will be priced at less than 50% of competing smart windows. Use of our product can reduce air conditioning costs and related CO2 emissions by ~35%. It is wireless, user controllable and is part of the "internet of things". Our product is transparent when switched off, allowing heat into the building. When switched to fully reflective, it will prevent ~90% of solar heating. It is anticipated that it will have a 3rd mode, which will be visually transparent while rejecting infrared heat.
