Abstract

Various embodiments may include methods of controlling a temperature of an electrochromic device. The methods may include determining a current temperature of the electrochromic device which includes a first transparent conductor electrically connected to a working electrode, and a second transparent conductor electrically connected to a counter electrode, and applying the heating current to the first transparent conductor and the second transparent conductor if the current temperature is below a minimum temperature to heat the electrochromic device. Further embodiments may include an electrochromic system including an electrochromic device and a controller configured to control the temperature of the electrochromic device.
