That&#8217;s the idea of the reflective windows Hitesh Khandelwal developed during his doctoral research at TU\/e, that are able to reflect invisible infrared light but allow visible light through. In addition these windows can be &#8216;switched on and off&#8217;. This new technology cuts the energy consumption for cooling and heating buildings by 12%. Khandelwal will receive his PhD for this innovation, on the basis of organic liquid crystals, on Thursday 11 May at Eindhoven University of Technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smart windows that act as blinds in the summer and let all the sunlight through in the winter.
