What are thermochromic windows?

Thermochromic windows are a specialized type of window technology that can change their transparency in response to temperature variations. These windows are made using a thin film coating or laminate that contains materials capable of altering their optical properties when the temperature changes. In warm weather, the windows darken or become tinted, blocking the sun's heat and reducing the need for air conditioning. Conversely, in cold weather, they remain clear to allow solar heat gain and natural light, reducing the demand for heating. This innovative window technology offers energy-efficient solutions for residential and commercial buildings, enhancing occupant comfort and reducing energy costs.
