MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641074492 A) filed by Novy Jacob; Ann Mathews; Anaswara Venunadh; and Cmrit on June 16, 2026, for Bio-Adaptive Solar Smart Window With Phase-Change Cooling And Air-Purifying Capability.
Inventor includes Ann Mathews.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a bio-adaptive solar smart window that integrates renewable energy generation, passive thermal regulation, and air purification within a single glazing system. The window includes a semi-transparent photovoltaic layer for solar energy conversion, a spectrum-selective coating for controlled light transmission, and an embedded microencapsulated phase-change material (PCM) layer that absorbs and releases heat to stabilize indoor temperature and reduce HVAC demand. The frame incorporates sunlight-activated photocatalytic micro-ventilation channels to degrade airborne pollutants. By combining energy harvesting, thermal buffering, and air purification, the system functions as an active building envelope component that improves energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and occupant comfort in residential and commercial structures. The generated electrical energy may be stored or utilized to power integrated smart control modules for automated performance optimization. The modular design enables easy installation in both new constructions and retrofitted buildings, supporting sustainable and climate- responsive architectural development.
