1. A method of independently controlling a multi-zone electrochromic window comprising a first electrochromic zone and a second electrochromic zone, both on a single window pane, the method comprising: (a) applying a first control voltage to the first electrochromic zone to thereby control the first
1. A method of independently controlling a multi-zone electrochromic window comprising a first electrochromic zone and a second electrochromic zone, both on a single window pane, the method comprising: (a) applying a first control voltage to the first electrochromic zone to thereby control the first electrochromic zone's transmittance; and(b) independently of (a), applying a second control voltage to the second electrochromic zone to thereby control the second electrochromic zone's transmittance,wherein the first and second electrochromic zones, disposed on a single window pane, are formed from a single electrochromic-based coating separated into the independently-controllable electrochromic zones by an electrically-isolating area. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second electrochromic zones has a pair of associated bus bars. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the bus bars are disposed at opposing edges of each of the first and second electrochromic zones. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein applying the first control voltage to the first electrochromic zone comprises applying a first voltage to a first bus bar coupled to the first electrochromic zone. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein applying the second control voltage to the second electrochromic zone comprises applying a second voltage to a second bus bar coupled to the second electrochromic zone. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein (a) and (b) comprise independently controlling the first and second electrochromic zones using a parameter selected from the group consisting of internal light level, external light level, external weather conditions, internal weather conditions, time of day, time of year, and combinations thereof. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the single electrochromic-based coating is solid-state. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the single electrochromic-based coating comprises: a first transparent conductive layer on the substrate through which light can pass;a counter electrode layer in contact with the first transparent conductive layer;an ion conductor layer in contact with the counter electrode layer;an electrochromic layer in contact with the ion conductor layer; anda second transparent conductive layer in contact with the electrochromic layer. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the single electrochromic-based coating is applied to the single window pane by sputtering. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the electrically-isolating area is formed by removing material from the single electrochromic-based coating. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein removing material comprises laser scribing or laser ablation. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the electrically-isolating area is a line having a width of between about 10 μm and 100 μm. 13. The method according to claim 1, wherein the single window pane comprises a material selected from the group consisting of glass, acrylic and polycarbonate. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the single window pane having the electrochromic zones is part of an insulated glass unit (IGU) further comprising: (i) a second window pane,(ii) a spacer between the window panes,(iii) a seal between each of the window panes and the spacer, and(iv) an inert gas in a sealed volume formed between the window panes and the spacer. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein at least one of the window panes comprises a low-E coating or a reflective coating. 16. The method to claim 1, wherein at least one zone of the first and second electrochromic zones includes a photochromic material or a thermochromic material. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the second window pane comprises patterning. 18. The method of claim 14, wherein the second window pane comprises light scattering features. 19. The method of claim 14, wherein the second window pane is tinted. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second electrochromic zones are formed from a single electrochromic-based coating disposed on the single window pane. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the single electrochromic-based coating formed on the single window pane comprises: a first transparent conductive layer;a counter electrode layer in contact with the transparent conductive layer;an ion conductor layer in contact with the counter electrode layer;an electrochromic layer in contact with the ion conductor layer; anda second transparent conductive layer in contact with the electrochromic layer.
