System and Method of Vehicle Climate Control Using Window Optical Properties

Abstract

A climate control system in a vehicle. The system comprises a first control module configured to: i) receive a first temperature measurement associated with a passenger compartment of a vehicle; ii) compare the first temperature measurement to a temperature set point value; and iii) in response to the comparison, determine a first error value associated with a difference between the first temperature measurement and the temperature set point. The system further comprises a temperature control module configured to receive the first error value and, in response, to adjust the light transmissivity of at least one window the vehicle.
