LOL...I had not read the original article, but I just looked and you are right! Incredible...
"With a conventional glass window, the indoor temperature soared to 137.6 degree Fahrenheit (58.7°C) in just 45 minutes. In contrast, when the RECM window was set to Mode III, the temperature was significantly lower at 88.7 Fahrenheit (31.5°C)—showing a remarkable reduction of about 80.96 Fahrenheit (27.2°C)."
That actually reads like a section of the original paper, but it's behind a paywall and the freely available sections don't include that info. It's to laugh (again) at "about 80.96." That's a lot of significant digits for the rough "about" measure.

"KAIST" is the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology national research university located in Daedeok Innopolis, Daejeon, South Korea.

What is a "Pedestrian-Friendly" window? Are regular windows so completely transparent that people walk into them all the time.

Yes floor to ceiling windows in office buildings with no center frame only edge frames look like open pathways you see people walking headlong into them all the time. Hang out in NYC in the Wall Street area you will see some suit on their phone walk headlong into them. Dirty or hazed windows make for much safer walking area’s. Birds too the biggest killer of birds in not turbine not even close, windows in buildings kill hundreds of times more. Ask Gemini about it.
