Abstract
Dynamic windows enable electronic control of light and heat flow and demonstrate potential for increased energy efficiency in buildings and improved well-being for the people inside them. Despite four decades of research and development, the traditional approaches to dynamic windows have failed to meet the criteria for widespread adoption. Today, dynamic windows are only employed in niche environments that can tolerate the high cost, poor aesthetics, and limited contrast that are inherent to the incumbent technologies. In this dissertation, I present a novel approach to dynamic windows through the use of reversible metal electrodeposition (RME) that enables color-neutral tinting over thousands of cycles and a wider range of solar energy modulation than any existing technology.
