Durable VO 2 -Based Thermochromic Paint for Energy-Efficient Opaque Building Facades
Key Points
The aim is to explore how thermochromic VO2 paint can improve energy efficiency in building facades.
Evaluation of thermochromic properties of VO2 paint on building envelopes.
Assessments were focused on energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Thermochromic VO2 paint reduced energy consumption significantly across different climate conditions.
Painting building facades with VO2 resulted in lower carbon emissions compared to traditional paints.
Abstract
Building energy consumption and associated carbon emissions continue to rise, motivating the development of passive and adaptive building envelope technologies. Thermochromic VO
