Electrotint windows use advanced dyes and electrolytes to create electrochromic
windows.

Advanced Window Technology
This project
involves the development of windows with exotic value-added properties.
Some of the properties that
have been developed are controlled coloration, radiofrequency
attenuation, and light generation. Prototypes of these windows
show that they are extremely durable. These windows were developed
to allow cost-effective control of solar thermal heating in buildings.
Some data, photographs, and videos of these windows is available
below. These windows are being developed by a team consisting of
Ben Warner,
Tony Burrell, Mark McCleskey (all
of
C-SIC/LANL), and Simon Hall (Massey University/on sabbatical
at C-SIC/LANL).
