Besides Winsmart, the EC funds four other Smart-Windows
projects:
Harwin
Harvesting solar energy with multifunctional glass-polymer
windows
Harwin will develop new materials for windows and provide heat and
noise control through laminate glazing structures and lightweight
framing. Phasechanging materials will improve energy ef ciency and
materials for wavelength conversion will enhance visible light
transmission. Bene ts of the next generation windows will be a
reduction in weight, thermal conductivity and energy and material
consumption, proved through a lifecycle environmental assessment.

SmartBlind
Development of an active fi lm for smart windows with inkjet method
and an application to an autonomous smart device for
buildings
The SMARTBLIND project aims to develop an energy efficient smart
window. The window will include a hybrid film composed of an
electrochromic film and a photovoltaic film printed onto a
long-lasting fexible substrate. The realisation process will be
implemented thanks to electrochromic and photovoltaic inks
specially formulated to be ink-jet printed.

Mem4Win
Advanced Technologies for smart windows.
MEM4WIN is a collaborative research project of 13 partner
institutions from science and industry funded under the 7th
Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development of
the European Commission.
With the introduction of quadruple glazing with ultra-thin glass
membranes and the development of advanced technologies for smart
windows the MEM4WIN consortium will demonstrate that the envisaged
modular advanced, adjustable and affordable window system enables
the erection of zero-energy buildings.

Eelicon
Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Comfort by Smart Light Transmittance
Control
EELICON is concerned with an innovative switchable light
transmittance technology developed previously in projects co-funded
by the EU Framework Programmes. The core of this development are
mechanically flexible and light-weight electrochromic (EC) film
devices based on a conductive polymer nanocomposite technology with
a unique property profile far beyond the current state-of-the art,
opening the possibility to retrofit existing windows with a
electrically dimmable plastic film.
