%X ABSTRACT The mode of solar energy utilization includes PV, solar heatingŁ¬hot water and so on, but it is difficult to improve the utilization rate nowadays. Using computer technology, a Smart Mirror was developed and installed on the roof of a building in Beijing, and related experiments have been carried out during 2017¨C2018. The results show that the device can reflect 48.6% of the solar radiation and 17.4% of ultraviolet into the building in winter. The utilization rate can reach over 194% of the traditional modes. Its efficiency is equivalent to 41.4% of the southward window of the building. Natural lighting is also improved significantly. Based on the ˇ°central diversion,ˇ± ˇ°wind moment counteractˇ± and ˇ°prestressing,ˇ± its stability, structural strength and accuracy meet the application needs. Graphical Abstrac
