Investigating the energy saving potential of thermochromic coatings on building envelopes

•Thermochromic (TC) coatings provide heating and cooling savings in buildings.•5 building types and 3 climates were studied.•TC coating properties were optimized according to building types and climates.•Temperature-based control of TC coatings leads to heating penalties in winters. Thermochromic (T...
