Researchers are developing innovative liquid windows that can control heat and light transmission. These tunable windows could potentially reduce building energy use by an estimated forty-three percent. Microscopic channels bonded to glass carry fluids, adjusting thermal and light properties. While still in development, this technology shows promise for future energy...
In 2023, researchers modeled fluid-filled microchannel windows; computer simulations estimated the liquid system could cut building energy use by 43 percent
