Of the energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, buildings annually account for 39 per cent of them.
Climate control of windows and glass facades of structures can be easier and cheaper with a team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati developing a nanocoating that can regulate heat and light passing through such structures in response to an applied voltage.
.Buildings account for nearly 39 per cent of the energy-related carbon dioxide emissions annually. The primary consumption of energy in buildings is by climate control systems, in which energy-consuming devices are used to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and brightness. To meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, a building energy intensity will have to improve by 30 per cent by 2030.
