A window film structure for cooling and heating is disclosed. The window film structure for cooling and heating according to the present invention comprises: a front side film which is attached to a window through an adhesive layer provided at one side surface of the front side film; a back side film; a lattice plate which is provided between the front side film and the back side film and includes a number of transverse members and a number of longitudinal members which are combined along the lengthwise direction of the transverse members; and a first cover, a second cover, a third cover and a fourth cover which seal the lattice plate by being attached along the circumference of the lattice plate, wherein the front side film and the back side film have the thickness of 0.1˜10 mm, are transparent or semi-transparent, and are tinting processed.

A wall or façade structure for improving quality of reception of a wireless communication device inside a building from a base station located outside of the building. The building has the structure as a part of a building envelope. The structure, which is configured to boost transmission of electromagnetic signals through the building envelope, includes at least one electrically conductive low emissivity surface, a first aperture and a second aperture. The apertures are isolated from each other for providing narrow aperture diffraction and to obtain diversity reception at a first frequency in shadow areas inside the building. A distance between the apertures is between 1 and 10 meters to provide an envelope correlation coefficient of less than 0.1 for said apertures at the first frequency.

A pivot window includes a laminated body capable of rotating in a state where a first plate material is directed outdoors and in a state where a second plate material is directed outdoors. The laminated body uses at least one of solar heat, atmospheric heat, and atmospheric humidity, and provides a humidity control effect to the room in both of the state where the first plate material is directed outdoors and the state where the second plate material is directed outdoors. The laminated body is not limited to the one providing the humidity control effect, but may be the one providing a temperature control effect. The laminated body may use the concentration of a specific gas in the atmosphere such as atmospheric oxygen concentration, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, and atmospheric volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration, and may provide a component concentration adjusting effect to the room.

Fire protection glazing made of two or more glass panes spaced apart from each other by a spacer. A fire protection material and the spacer are arranged in an intermediate space between the two glass panes. A secondary seal encloses the fire protection material and the spacer in the intermediate space. The secondary seal has a intumescent fire protection property. Exclusively the fire protection material, the spacer, optionally having an optional spacer attachment for attaching the spacer to the glass pane, and the secondary seal can be arranged in the intermediate space between the two glass panes.

A glazing unit includes at least one first and second glass or plastic pane that are joined to one another at a predetermined distance via a spacer or a thermoplastic intermediate layer, wherein at least one of the first and second glass or plastic pane includes, on the inner side of the glazing unit, a transparent electrically conductive coating and, in an edge region thereof, a bus bar for the electrical connection of the conductive coating, wherein the bus bar is provided, at least over the greater part of its surface, with an opaque covering.

Thin-film devices, for example, multi-zone electrochromic windows, and methods of manufacturing are described. In certain cases, a multi-zone electrochromic window comprises a monolithic EC device on a transparent substrate and two or more tinting zones, wherein the tinting zones are configured for independent operation.

A window unit is designed to prevent or reduce bird collisions therewith. The window unit may include first and second substrates (e.g., glass substrates) spaced apart from one another, wherein at least one of the substrates supports an ultraviolet (UV) reflecting coating for reflecting UV radiation so that birds are capable of more easily seeing the window. The UV reflecting coating is preferably patterned so that it is not provided across the entirety of the window unit. By making the window more visible to birds, bird collisions and bird deaths can be reduced. The UV reflecting coating is designed to have high UV reflectance across a large range of viewing angles.

A mosaic-style design aerogel window system having two panes of translucent material assembled parallel to each other in a frame to form a window panel is disclosed. A variety of aerogel monoliths of various colors are assembled in a layer between the two panes of translucent material such that edges of adjacent aerogel monoliths mate with each other. Aerogel monoliths are prepared from a plurality of cut or molded shapes of aerogel monoliths, each having at least one dimension of ¼ inch or greater. At least some of the plurality of aerogel monoliths have dyes or salts incorporated into a precursor recipe to impart color to the colored aerogel monoliths.

A coated article includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer, a first metallic layer, a second dielectric layer, a second metallic layer, a third dielectric layer, a third metallic layer, a fourth dielectric layer, a fourth metallic layer and a fifth dielectric layer. At least one of the metallic layers is a discontinuous metallic layer having discontinuous metallic regions. An optional primer is positioned over any one of the metallic layers. Optionally a protective layer is provided as the outer most layer over the fifth dielectric layer.

A vacuum insulating glazing unit includes a first glass pane having a thickness Z1, and a second glass pane made of prestressed glass having a thickness, Z2, where Z1 is greater than Z2 (Z1>Z2) The glazing unit also includes a set of discrete spacers positioned between the first and second glass panes and a hermetically bonding seal sealing the distance between the first and second glass panes over a perimeter. A vacuum of pressure less than 0.1 mbar is created in an internal volume V. A thickness ratio, Z1/Z2, of the thickness of the first glass pane, Z1, to the thickness of the second glass pane, Z2, is equal to or greater than 1.30 (Z1/Z2≥1.30).
