Glass is used extensively in buildings – it protects us from the elements yet provides natural light and a connection to the outside. However, a considerable amount of energy is used to cool and heat buildings, much of it to address heat gained and lost across the glass. In addition, too much light causes glare, requiring the use of blinds and shades and in return blocking the view.
Unobstructed views. Energy-efficient.
Soladigm’s Dynamic Glass can change its tint from clear to dark on demand and provide unprecedented control over the amount of light and heat that enters a building. This dynamic control results in 25 percent reduction in HVAC energy consumption and 30 percent reduction in peak load. Additionally, because they also control glare, windows that use Soladigm Dynamic Glass do not need blinds, shades or other window treatments, thus providing unobstructed views to the occupants.
While several technologies have been developed to dynamically control the heat and light across window glass, Soladigm’s Dynamic Glass is the first technology to deliver on the key requirements of performance, scalability, and durability with the cost effectiveness needed for broad adoption.
