Explanation:

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati have developed a smart window material which can automatically control climate of buildings.

Researchers working on the window highlighted, smart window material can effectively control the amount of heat and light passing through it when voltage is applied to it. Thus, it will help to develop efficient automatic climate control.

Characteristics of Smart Windows

1. Design of smart windows are suitable for all-weather conditions.

2. Smart window glasses have been designed using noble metals which can dynamically control the solar radiations.

3. They are inexpensive as they make use of materials like copper and indium tin oxide.

4. It can maintain the ambient indoor temperature and lighting in buildings or vehicles.
