Abstract:
A rearview mirror assembly includes a housing. A circuit board is positioned within the housing. A cantilevered contact is coupled with the circuit board. An electro-optic element is positioned proximate the circuit board. A first substantially transparent substrate defines a first surface and a second surface. A first edge extends around the first substrate. A second substantially transparent substrate defines a third surface and a fourth surface. A second edge extends around the second substrate and defines a notch having a notch edge set inboard from the second edge. An electrical bus extends proximate the first and second edges. A primary seal is disposed between the first and second substrates. The seal and the first and second substrates define a cavity therebetween. An electro-optic material is positioned within the cavity.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for fabricating electrochromic devices that mitigate formation of short circuits under a top bus bar without predetermining where top bus bars will be applied on the device. Devices fabricated using such methods may be deactivated under the top bus bar, or may include active material under the top bus bar. Methods of fabricating devices with active material under a top bus bar include depositing a modified top bus bar, fabricating self-healing layers in the electrochromic device, and modifying a top transparent conductive layer of the device prior to applying bus bars.

A glazing can include a substrate having a viewable area contained within a boundary, and an electrochromic device coupled to the substrate. The electrochromic device can have a tintable area spaced apart from the boundary of the viewable area along at least 5% of the boundary. The tintable area can have a tintable surface area, A ED , the viewable area of the substrate has a surface area, A VA , and A ED can be less than A VA . A central portion of the viewable area can include a number of layers of material, a peripheral portion can include a number of layers of material, and the number of layers at the central portion can be greater than the number of layers at the peripheral portion.

Abstract:
Methods for integrated room management in a building management system and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes determining (702) a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) for a room (400) in a building and determining (704) predicted open-loop room (400) temperatures at a plurality of time intervals based on the SHGC and a plurality of electrochromic glass (ECG) (408) tint levels. The method includes determining (706) illumination heat and illumination energy for the room (400) and determining (708) climate energy for the room (400). The method includes determining (710) a total room energy at each of the time intervals as a function of the ECG (408) tint levels based on the climate energy, illumination energy, and predicted open-loop room temperatures. The method includes determining (712) an optimal ECG (408) tint level that minimizes the total room energy at each of the time intervals and controlling (714) the ECG (408) tint levels according to the optimal ECG tint level.
