Windows account for a considerable proportion of the air conditioning load in buildings, especially in mod highrise buildings with large window-to-wall ratios (WWRs). It was estimated by the Department of Energy (DOE) of the United States that about 30% of the energy used to heat and cool buildings is lost through inefficient windows. Therefore,developing advanced windows to retrofit existing inefficient window systems has a huge energy saving potential.
