a The infrared images of model houses installed with SLE and WRT smart windows, the insert is the photograph of model houses installed with SLE and WRT smart windows. b, c Measured temperature variation of indoor blackbody and outdoor in the SLE smart window house and WRT smart window house in September, Hefei. The windows are powered on from 10:00 (10 a.m.) to 15:00 (3 p.m.) to activate the electrochromic function. d Monthly energy load of the normal glass, SLE and WRT smart windows in Riyadh. e Monthly energy load of the normal glass, SLE and WRT smart windows in Hong Kong. f Calculated total energy load per year for the windows applied in Riyadh and Hong Kong, respectively.
