58‐4: Factors Affecting the Thermal Performance of Dye‐doped Liquid Crystal Smart Window

Software simulation and sample measurement were conducted to investigate the factors affecting the thermal performance of dye‐doped liquid crystal (DLC) smart window, including the position of DLC dimming glass and the type of Low‐e layer. The results indicated that when the DLC dimming glass was placed on the outdoor side and triple silver Low‐e layer was arranged at position 2# of insulating glass, the optimal thermal performance was obtained, with the Shading Coefficient (SC) of 0.14 ∼ 0.27 and the Heat Transfer Coefficient (K) of 1.33 W/(m 2 ·K).
