Objective
A multifunctional daylight system will be developed which is able to control simultaneously light and climate. The main idea is to use a specially designed movable lamella system embedded in insulating glass and to integrate layers with electrically controlled liquid crystals in this system. By combining the mechanical properties of polymer films with the electro-optical properties of liquid crystals it is possible to produce liquid crystal films that can be applied to glazing and lamellas. Thereby the optical state of certain parts of the system can be switched from transparent to scattering and the transmittance can be changed electrically. The system includes an intelligent control strategy that will be elaborated to meet most standard requirements. Additionally the possibility to adjust this strategy to the special usage of the room or to requests of the user is anticipated. A prototype will be evaluated in a 1:1 test room.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
