Energy Saving Coating Materials: Design, Process, Implementation and Recent Developments

Energy Saving Coating Materials: Design, Process, Implementation and Developments provides comprehensive information about recent materials advancements, design aspects and integration for infra-red radiation regulators as well as the looking at the future development of zero emission buildings. The key opportunities and challenges for the usage of existing heat regulation materials and their implementation for commercial aspects are explored in detail. The fundamental interaction between electromagnetic waves and materials are discussed, as well as the materials synthesis, design and integration of coatings for smart window applications. Solar radiation can be tuned for energy harvesting through the conversion of solar energy into electricity while thermal radiation enhances electricity consumption for indoor cooling/heating. Through the interaction of innovative materials and coatings with infra-red radiation, electricity consumption required for cooling and heating can be reduced considerably. Currently, the majority of electricity generated through non-renewable energy sources results in a huge carbon footprint, as well as environmental pollution which contributes to global warming. This book presents recent developments of innovative technologies comprising energy saving materials and coatings which are key consideration to achieve the vital energy saving milestones worldwide.
