Abstract

Multifunctional glazing combines various glazing, that have potential to control solar heat gain by changing the window transmittance and low heat loss. In autonomous multifunctional glazing its function will be powered by PV layer attached to the glazing. This glazing obviates the necessity for shading devices to control the glare. Glare control for such a small scale south facing vertical surface multifunctional glazing is discussed.
