Electrochromic Glass Benefits

Design without Compromise

To achieve the optimal balance of wellness, efficiency, and resilience, electrochromic glass provides an unrivaled, adaptive solution that meets design goals without sacrificing daylight or views.

Challenge the Status Quo

In many traditional building, shading solutions, such as mechanical blinds or motorized shades, are down 50-70% of the day, blocking daylight and views for occupants and degrading exterior aesthetics.

Avoid the Pitfalls

Advance Well-Being & Performance

When buildings have abundant daylight and views of the outdoors, people thrive. Smart windows maintain the connection to the outdoors, promoting improved occupant wellness, satisfaction, and productivity.

Unleash Versatility

One Solution, Dual Performance

Electrochromic glass is revolutionizing design in the built environment, providing an innovative solution to deliver unmatched performance for occupant comfort and energy performance. Smart windows control glare and prevent heat gain, ensuring occupants are comfortable without the headaches of conventional shading solutions.

Product Overview

Ditch the Pitfalls of Traditional Shading Solutions

Static Solutions Can’t Adapt

Traditional solutions have a fixed performance unlike dynamic solutions that are designed to respond to real-time conditions.

Performance Tradeoffs

Traditional solutions are partial solutions that can’t adequately address both glare and heat gain. Often, multiple solutions are required to ensure occupant comfort.

Sustainability

Traditional glazing and interior shading only block a portion of solar energy, requiring more HVAC usage. Plus, additional material solutions add to the overall embodied carbon of the project.

Obstructed Daylight & Views

In many traditional buildings, shading solutions compromise occupant experience, blocking or limiting daylight and views.

Compromised Aesthetics

Interior blinds and shades can negatively impact exterior aesthetics, disrupting the modern, clean visual that glazed façades offer.

Maintenance & Repairs

Many shading solutions require routine inspection, maintenance, and cleaning, which can be costly, especially in hard-to-access locations like building exteriors.

Limited Control

Exterior solutions, in particular, can be difficult to adjust, limiting the ability of the system to adapt to changing sunlight angles or user preferences.

Design Constraints

The selection of an exterior shading solution may impact design considerations including building orientation and structural support.
