The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Stanford University to develop dynamic windows based on reversible metal electrodeposition that possess uniform switching, high optical contrast, fast switching times, and good durability over the course of 50,000 cycles.
Activities associated with the proposed project would include the design, development, fabrication and testing of windows in which the tinting can be adjusted with an electrical signal. This work would be completed within dedicated laboratory space on campus at Stanford University in Stanford, CA. The facility in which lab work would occur is purpose-built for the type of activities being proposed; therefore, no adverse impacts to sensitive resources are expected as a result of the proposed project. No change in the use, mission or operation of existing facilities would arise out of this effort. The facility has all applicable permits in place, and would not need additional permits for the proposed activities.
