Fig. 5: Light guiding effect and thermal insulation properties of aesthetic wood.
From: Scalable aesthetic transparent wood for energy efficient buildings
a-b The schematic scene shows the light distribution and aesthetic appeal inside a building via applying the aesthetic wood (abbreviated as AW in the d) ceiling comparing with the glass ceiling. c IR images of aesthetic wood with temperature distributions in the axial (heat transfer direction is parallel to the aligned wood microchannels) and radial (heat transfer direction is perpendicular to the aligned wood microchannels) directions. d Thermal conductivities of glass9, axial and radial direction of our aesthetic wood (AW). Error bars represent standard deviation.
