MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621022813 A) filed by Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology, Walwa, Maharashtra, on Feb. 26, for 'adaptive multi-modal energy harvesting and damping facade-integrated window system.'
Inventor(s) include Mandar Abasaheb Bhingardeve; Omesh Chandrakant Pawar; Abhishek Rama Shinde; Prof. Shweta S. Patil; Dr. Sachin B. Khot; and Dr. Prashant S. Jadhav.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Adaptive Multi-Modal Energy Harvesting and Damping Facade-Integrated Window System This invention describes an adaptive multi-modal facade-integrated window system for high-rise buildings is disclosed. The system is configured to harvest energy from multiple ambient sources including solar radiation, wind-induced vibration, structural motion, and airflow, while maintaining optical transparency and sealed facade performance. Transparent photovoltaic structures convert incident light into electrical energy, while vibration-responsive and electromagnetic induction mechanisms generate power from mechanical excitation and relative displacement. A dynamic resonance tuning arrangement adaptively modifies mechanical response characteristics to optimize energy harvesting efficiency across variable environmental conditions. The system further incorporates a selectively operable micro-ventilation mode that enables airflow-based energy recovery without compromising environmental sealing. During extreme loading events, an integrated shock-damping functionality dissipates mechanical energy to protect glazing integrity. Electrical outputs from all harvesting modalities are regulated through a centralized power management architecture and supplied to low-load building subsystems. A fail-safe bypass ensures continued structural and sealing performance upon subsystem malfunction."
