Sageglass
This unique solution to conditioning uses glass which can restrict the amount light passing through it to control temperatures indoor.
Sageglass provides a unique solution to climate control in indoor spaces.
This is a form of Smartglass, which can chane transparency to control the amount of light passing into a building.
The significance of this technology is threefold:
Heat control
Glare control
Lack of curtains/view obstruction
With this new technology, office spaces, shops, houses, and other spaces can enjoy the view even when it is getting too hot to do so, by blocking out light.
Furthermore, this glass automatically keeps the room at a consistent temperature by changing how much light is let in depending on the intensity of the sunlight at any given time.
This removes the need for cooling systems in many circumstances where glass windows naturally cause buildings to heat up, creating the need for energy-intensive cooling.
The smartglass can be controlled autonomously or manually through connection to your devices.
Their youtube videos demonstrate the technology as well as case studies of some award winning buildings which use their glass.
