Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

Abstract

This work consists of selected papers on architectural coatings from two seminars held by the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) January 25-29, 1982 in Los Angeles, Calif. The papers were selected from Optical Coatings for Energy Efficiency and Solar Application Vol. 324, edited by C.M. Lampert and Optical Thin Films Vol. 325, edited by R.I. Seddon. All papers are reproduced by permission of the authors and SPIE. Full proceedings can be purchased from SPIE, PO Box 10, Bellingham, WA 98227-0010 USA.

This collected work represents a sampling of the research and development interest in transparent heat mirror films for mainly architectural uses. The heat-mirror coatings discussed range from single-layer semiconductors to dielectric/metal/dielectric multilayers. New ternary compounds and nitride films are also introduced. Properties of heat mirrors deposited on glass and polyester substrates are discussed. The final section deals with large-scale processing, which is the link between research and development and mass production. Details of large physical vapor deposition, chemical-vapor deposition, and roll-coating systems are presented.
