SageGlass aims at providing an elegant and sustainable alternative to conventional buildings' facade solutions for architects and builders looking at solving solar control challenges without sacrificing aesthetics, energy-efficiency or comfort. SageGlass dynamically adapts its tint in response to the weather conditions and the building's needs, to manage the daylight and heat in a smart way. Spaces always benefit from daylight and a free access to views to outdoors, without suffering from glare nor overheating. This thus results in reducing the building's energy use and improving the occupants' comfort and well-being.

- •Lets 60% of daylight in the clear state and blocks up to 99% of daylight in the darkest state, providing optimized daylight levels without visual discomfort while keeping the views out
- •Reduces building's overall energy loads by an average of 20% and peak energy demand by up to 26%
- •All-in-one solar shading solution that lightens and simplifies the facade design and construction
The Financial Benefits
- •Reduces building's energy-related operating costs by an average of 20%.
- •Less than 4 years payback time, thanks to reduced building's energy and maintenance costs, and improved occupants' comfort and well-being.
