Dr. Debabrata Sikdar, Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, along with his research scholar, Ashish Kumar Chowdhary from IIT Guwahati, have designed a smart window material that can effectively control the amount of heat and light passing through it in response to an applied voltage. Such smart window materials would help developing efficient automatic climate control systems in buildings. The results of their study have recently been published in the journal, Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells.
office had 28 major new rules passed under his administration in the first three years alone. john: maybe we have enough. it s a great fallacy, 28 major new rules. obama is four times greater than that. the cost for president bush s rules for the first three years of his administration were $8 billion. so we ve had a virtual explosion almost a regulatory assault is on free enterprise. john: new standards for air bags and window designs, if you get thrown out of the car. department of energy, extra costs for appliances. these have unintended consequences. it may deter you from buying a new one, use the old one? extra costs for each one that is passed along to the consumer.
