Energy Efficiency

Smart Glass & Energy Performance

Smart glass in its opaque state reduces solar heat gain significantly, acting like a shade integrated into the glass itself. When combined with Low-E coatings, smart glass can reduce cooling costs by controlling how much solar energy enters a space. The ability to adjust transparency on demand allows occupants to optimize natural light and heat gain throughout the day.
