Smart or electrochromic windows are a solution to replace conventional ones, in order to make buildings more energy efficient. To develop materials for these more sustainable windows, the “Solar-Powered Smart Windows for Sustainable Buildings” project is being developed at UTAD, led by Verónica Bermudez. The working group is made up of researcher Mariana Fernandes, from the Vila Real Chemistry Center, whose work involves the synthesis and characterization of electrolytes that can be applied to smart windows. These materials will allow you to change the color of the windows throughout the day and, in this way, control the amount of light that enters them.

SUPPORT OUR WORK. SUPPORT NEARBY JOURNALISM.
At a time when information is more important than ever, support regional and local journalism. Access to most VTM news is (still) free, but it is not free, journalism costs money and requires investment. This contribution is a way of directly supporting A Voz de Trás-os-Montes and its journalists. Our counterpart is independent and local journalism, but not only that. It means continuing to inform despite all the contingencies of confinement, without having stopped for a single day.
