    <itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this Podcast Astrid will be talking to Daniel about his recently published building energy simulation study. This study shows that the thermochromic smart window outperforms all other glazing systems in all intermediate climates, such as the Netherlands, and can lead to annual cost savings of up to 638 euro per household.
