Enhance the Insulation Properties of Building Window Glass by Optical Program Band for More Effective Cooling and Heating Process

Abstract

Providing electricity to energy-intensive residential buildings is crucial worldwide. However, the importance of managing electrical loads, as well as heating and cooling loads, has become increasingly apparent. This research aims to design building windows using Openfilter software, incorporating innovative thin-film and ferro-fluid materials. The refractive index and thickness of these materials enhance the window glass's infrared reflectivity, resulting in superior insulation properties that maintain a stable cooling temperature within the building. This, in turn, improves energy management efficiency during the summer months. The research proposes using TiO2 semiconductor materials with a high thermal dielectric constant and ferro-fluid  windows with a dual refractive index. Depending on the applied voltage, the window panes allow maximum light transmission in winter and minimum transmission in summer. The results show a significant improvement in temperature gradient from 80°C to 20°C. This approach will significantly enhance the efficiency of both heating and cooling processes.
