Description
Windows gained popularity in modern architecture for their aesthetic appearance and ability to provide natural sunlight. But in terms of energy efficiency, windows are less desirable due to their lack of insulation and their vulnerability to sun radiation. Mackinac Technology Company invented a coating solution to help depreciate solar radiation through windows, thus saving energy from cooling windowed infrastructures. The goal of research is to implement test boxes (Sunbox) to evaluate window’s thermal resistance. The Sunboxes will be placed in remote locations and must be remotely monitored and controlled by designated computers
