报告摘要：
Energy-efficient temperature regulation within buildings is crucial for reducing energy consumption and enhancing occupant comfort. This talk presents an innovative approach to achieving energy-efficient indoor temperature control by integrating phase change materials (PCMs) with transparent window coatings. Phase change materials have the unique ability to absorb and release latent heat during phase transitions, providing a passive mechanism for temperature regulation. By incorporating PCMs into building envelopes, the system can store excess heat during peak solar radiation and release it during cooler periods, thus stabilizing indoor temperatures and reducing the demand for active heating and cooling. Additionally, advanced transparent window coatings are employed to modulate solar heat gain by dynamically adjusting their optical properties in response to external temperature and sunlight intensity. This combination of PCMs and smart window coatings forms a synergistic system that optimizes thermal performance without compromising natural light or visibility, leading to substantial energy savings. This integrated approach can significantly reduce heating and cooling loads, contributing to lower energy consumption and improved indoor comfort. This research underscores the potential of smart materials and intelligent control strategies in advancing energy-efficient and sustainable building technologies.
