Description

When designing a facility, it is usually desirable to maximize window area because of the amount of natural lighting it can provide. However, increasing window area will increase the cooling or heating loads on a building structure depending on the climate region, seasonal changes and solar orientation. Low-emissivity and more recently developed, spectrally selective window glazing are commercially available and have been proven to be very effective in reducing heat gain in hot climate conditions as well as reducing heating losses in colder climate areas. However, current solar reflective window glazing/film for energy efficiency are tailored to specific climate conditions and not universal for all climate situations. It is therefore desirable to have a universal energy efficient window glazing or film that can be applicable to all climate regions, seasonal changes as well as solar orientation of a building (i.e., north, south, east, or west side). The glazing/film solution can be integrated into the glass or applied on to the glass as a coating. If a coating solution is proposed it would be advantageous to provide a solution such as window film that can be attached to existing windows for retrofit applications as well as integrated into the manufacturing of new window and/or the glazing processes. A functional prototype should be delivered at about one year from the contract award date and, at which time, laboratory testing should commence. The total project time for Phase I should not exceed two years. Topics of interest described below are areas that may be included in the abstract. Individual topics of interest are as follows: (a) Identify a technology and methodology for achieving technical requirements. (b) The solar heat reflective film or glazing should be economically sensible and justifiable by the energy savings it can provide. (c) The proposed glazing/film needs to be durable enough to withstand environmental degradation for the life of the facility or, at minimum, meet industry warranty standards for similar technology. (d) Maintenance requirements should be similar to that of existing window film/glazing. (e) Industry test standards should be used to verify performance of the prototype. (f) Visible light transmission is critical for optimizing the use of daylight and should be greater than 60%. (g) Reducing glare, blocking UV transmission and having low reflectivity is essential and should be addressed.
