**MEMS smart glass – a chance for huge energy savings in buildings and a way
into the mysterious world of Casimir forces**
Prof. Hartmut Hillmer
University of Kassel, Germany
Today, buildings are responsible for the highest amount of primary energy
consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting that triggers rapid global
warming, rising sea-level, and profound changes in ocean ecosystems by
emitting a massive amount of CO2. Micro- and nano-structured MEMS mirror
arrays (placed inside insulated window glazing) can steer and control daylight
dynamically and automatically according to user requirements. The presentation
gives an overview on methodology, fabrication process, characterization and
application. By chance, research on that field also brought us to a novel
self-assembly technology based on the fascinating nanoscale Casimir effect.
Also here, the presentation introduces fundamentals, design, fabrication and
characterization.
