Abstract
Abstract Solar control coatings are required for architectural glazing applications in locations with a warm climate. Their use is particularly vital for energy conservation in buildings when conventional ideas in passive architecture are not acceptable such as in tower-type edifices in urban set up and when windows are required to face east or west in search of scenic beauty. In this paper we present an update on chemically deposited solar control coatings for the production of glazing with near ideal and versatile solar control characteristics. The coatings are based on single or multilayers of CuxS, Bi2S3, PbS, SnS, NiS etc. The characteristics of these glazings include an integrated transmittance in the visible region of 10 - 35%, integrated transmittance in the infrared region of - 10%. and a range of colors in reflected day light. In addition to solar control applications of the above films, their prospects in decorative coatings, image recording using photo-accelerated chemical deposition, low-cost...
