hr.doe.gov energypartners.gov consumerenergycenter.org abcnews.go.com The whole purpose of "smart windows" has been energy savings. At the 2002 REFR annual meeting, the pilot of the first SPD-equipped jet said that the cabin temperature was 25 degrees cooler in the jet due to SPD. That is sitting in the hot Florida sun. Imagine how much lower you could set your thermostat if SPD window made your room 25 degrees cooler. ND

Bridge Player... Hey, why not give ND a break. The story said it could save 50% in energy. So technically I guess it is correct. However it could save 40%, or 30% or whatever % you want. Maybe future PR's could leave a blank space for whatever numbers they are touting and the reader can fill in whatever "feels good" at the time. LOL Also was the plane's cabin temp really 25 degrees C cooler. If it were C degrees that translates to 77 degrees F. Think of the applications and possibilities. Go camping for instance with the temp at say 70 F, pull down the shades and come back for a drink with ice cubes and never need to take a cooler!!! Wow and more LOL! Bob T.
