Smart window tinting based on outside temperature and sunlight
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11966142B2) discloses a method and system for determining the tint state of tintable windows based on various factors. The method involves determining a baseline tint state for the window, then adjusting it to a modified tint state based on outside temperature, sunlight penetration depth, and other parameters. Instructions are provided to transition the window to the modified tint state. The system includes processors to determine the tint state and a controller to apply commands for the transition.
The patent claims cover various aspects of the method and system, including the use of specific threshold temperatures, tint levels, sensor readings, and algorithms to determine the baseline tint state. Additionally, the system incorporates the detection of sunlight penetration and the position of the sun to adjust the tint state accordingly. User input for threshold temperatures and irradiance levels is also considered. The system utilizes sensors to gather data for determining the baseline tint state, with a focus on glare conditions and sunlight penetration depth. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive approach to controlling the tint of windows based on environmental factors and user preferences, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort within buildings.
