Buildings of the future could have much improved environmental credentials thanks to next-generation windowpanes that redirect light to solar panels positioned along their outer edges. Such ‘smart glass’ windows would utilize light from the sun and artificial light from within the building to generate electricity.
Innovative Energy Collection
Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are devices that concentrate solar radiation to produce electricity. They have been suggested as an innovative and colorful solution to future energy collection by Rice University engineers, who have designed and built a polymer core-based luminescent window that generates energy using sunlight or light from LEDs.
