Material technology for reduced heating needs in building

The innovation is a silver-based alloy nanomaterial for use in low-emissivity (low-e) glass. Low-e glass windows have a microscopically thin coating that is transparent and reflects heat minimizing the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that is transmitted through the window. The innovation purportedly allows more natural light to enter through the window compared to other low-e coatings currently in use, without compromising the window’s thermal insulation.

The rapid development of urbanization and industrialization has extremely damaged nature. The increased pollution is caused due to ecological imbalance.
