Nanomaterials for benign indoor environments : Electrochromics for “smart windows”, sensors for air quality, and photo-catalysts for air cleaning

• Nanomaterials can be used in a number of technologies in order to accomplish benign indoor environments. This paper takes a unified view on this problem from a solar-energy-based perspective and specifically considers electrochromics for achieving good day-lighting jointly with energy efficiency, sensors aimed at air quality assessment, and photocatalysis for air cleaning. Recent results, mainly from the authors’ laboratories, are reported for all of these areas.
