Development of experimental methods for quantifying the human response to chromatic glazing (2018)
Journal Article
Liang, R., Kent, M., Wilson, R., & Wu, Y. (2019). Development of experimental methods for quantifying the human response to chromatic glazing. Building and Environment, 147, 199-210. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2018.09.044

Thermochromic (TC) windows have the ability to regulate daylight and control the solar heat gains that shape a building's internal environment. They therefore offer the potential to improve indoor comfort and reduce building energy demand when used i...
