Multiphysics Design & Analysis of Silver-Based Low-Emissivity Coating Technology for Energy Saving Sustainable Windows Applications
Modern energy saving windows, using low-emissivity (Low-E) technology, are unique and cost-effective solution. This manufacturing technology has been utilized in buildings and has increasingly been recommended in the transportation sector with mobile communication enablement. The presented work will leverage the utilization of physics-based simulation to characterize both the high frequency electromagnetic and optical performance for silver-based low-E Coating designs. Validation with published measurements for double and triple silver coatings are presented. Wave optics and ray tracing analysis are combined to account for sub-micron features while modeling the larger window models. In addition, high frequency analysis is performed to characterize the signal attenuation through the windows in realistic scenarios.
