By improving the insulation value of glazing, glass industry contributes successfully to reduce global heating demand in built environment. However, as temperatures are increasing and heat waves more frequently occurring, increased values glazing also contribute vast growing cooling demand. Therefore, is evolving further with smart reject solar entrance during summer seasons, while allowing it up indoor spaces winter seasons. This paper presents a photochromic window film unique combination optical properties compared other technologies. The has high visible light transmission transparent state (88%), showing modulation 48% accompanied change gain coefficient from 0.87 0.54 upon irradiation UV light. way enhances both daylight- thermal comfort well energy efficiency all by itself. simply prepared solution roll-to-roll scalable coating method. Simulation shows that film, when integrated low-e coated double can save 35% on annual consumption same without depending climate where applied. Upgrading Europe potential about 1200 TWh use annually.

Advances in nanotechnology have made it possible to observe and evaluate structures down the atomic molecular level. The next step development of functional materials is apply knowledge sciences. This role nanoarchitectonics, which a concept post-nanotechnology. Nanoarchitectonics defined as methodology create using nanounits such atoms, molecules, nanomaterials building blocks. very general not limited or applications, thus nanoarchitecture applied many fields. In particular, evolution from nanoarchitecture, useful consider contribution device applications. There may be solution widely recognized problem integrating top-down bottom-up approaches design systems. With this mind, review discusses examples nanoarchitectonics developments advanced devices. Some recent are introduced through broadly dividing them into organic inorganic nanoarchitectonics. Examples include variety control structural elements, π-conjugated structures, chemical complex ligands, steric hindrance effects, stacking, isomerization color changes due external stimuli, selective redox reactions, doping semiconductors by electron transfer reactions. Supramolecular processes association intercalation molecules also important controlling properties. often allows for size, dimension, shape, their associated physical properties can controlled. addition, there specific groups that suitable practical use, nanoparticles graphene. Therefore, has more aspect. Based on these aspects, finally considers future further
