More windows is something every urban dweller wants, but in the summers all that sunlight can make your place sweltering. Double-glazed windows do a decent job of insulation, but researchers at the Polytechnic University in Madrid have done them one better with Intelliglass. The special windows feature a layer of circulating water sandwiched between the glass that absorbs heat, reducing a/c bills by an estimated 70%. Not yet ready for prime time, though they hope to have it on the market soon.

Doesn't water expand when it freezes?
If you inserted pigment into the water, could you shade the windows?
