Liquid Windows

News: Squids can change colour like cuttlefish. The fluidic system known as Liquid Windows was created by Toronto University in response to these organisms’ and their color-changing mechanisms. The system’s primary goal is to lower energy expenses. It aims to reduce the energy used in specific activities, such as building lighting, heating, and cooling.

• The windows in the rooms are really just stacks of sheets. Every tier in the stack serves a particular visual purpose. i.e., they only permit a specific kind of wavelength to flow through them. The following parameters are under the scientists’ individual or collective control by means of these stacks:
• Light intensity
• the room’s light’s incoming wave lengths
• Light dispersion
• Plastic is used to create the stacks. There are substantial passageways in between the stacks. These channels are used for the passage of fluids. Pumps are used to add or remove fluids. The volume of fluid in the stacks optimises light transmission across the system.
• The key idea is to manage how much natural light enters the space. Buildings use a lot of energy to heat, cool, and illuminate interior spaces. It is possible to regulate the temperature and illumination of a room by adjusting the direction, kind, and quantity of solar energy entering the space.
