I discuss coatings for energy efficient windows of several different kinds with a view to the possibility of modelling their optical properties by effective medium theory. Special attention is given to spectrally selective noble-metal-based coatings with induced transmission due to voids, angular selective metal coatings with oblique columnar microstructure, and tentative theoretical descriptions of chromogenic materials having dynamic radiative properties.
