Luminous environment apects related to the integration of control systems with ElectroChromic (EC) windows for non-residential buildings are analyzed. On/off and linear control strategies to reverse the EC transparency from the bleached to the coloured state, integrated with dimming and on/off artificial light control systems, are investigated as regards visual aspects. Different EC window systems are compared with a double sheet glass system equipped with different internal shading for some Italian cities in typical Mediterranean geographic areas. An integrated energy analysis program, IENUS (Integrated Energy Use Simulation), that simulates hourly thermal and luminous aspects on the base of TMYs (Typical Meteorological Years) is used as a work tool.

Abstract
Luminous environment apects related to the integration of control systems with ElectroChromic (EC) windows for non-residential buildings are analyzed. On/off and linear control strategies to reverse the EC transparency from the bleached to the coloured state, integrated with dimming and on/off artificial light control systems, are investigated as regards visual aspects. Different EC window systems are compared with a double sheet glass system equipped with different internal shading for some Italian cities in typical Mediterranean geographic areas. An integrated energy analysis program, IENUS (Integrated Energy Use Simulation), that simulates hourly thermal and luminous aspects on the base of TMYs (Typical Meteorological Years) is used as a work tool.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
