Pioneers of Smart Glass
Among the leaders in electrochromic glass technology is SageGlass, a dynamic glazing solution that combines cutting-edge design with environmental sustainability. Part of Saint-Gobain, a global leader in sustainable building solutions, SageGlass leverages over 350 years of expertise to create glass that tints or clears on demand.
SageGlass blocks up to 91% of solar heat, significantly reducing the need for HVAC systems while preventing heat and glare. Equipped with intelligent controls, it adapts throughout the day to maintain optimal thermal and visual comfort.
This innovation not only improves energy efficiency but also enhances the well-being of building occupants. By allowing abundant natural light while mitigating glare and excess heat, SageGlass supports circadian rhythms and fosters a connection to the outdoors – key principles of biophilic design. SageGlass offers architects, developers, and designers an opportunity to create buildings that are as functional as they are beautiful. Its dynamic capabilities eliminate the need for traditional blinds or shades, preserving the architectural integrity of a facade while delivering superior comfort.
A sensor installed on the roof or facade ensures the glass adjusts automatically to changing weather conditions, optimising daylight and thermal comfort. By reducing cooling loads by up to 15%, SageGlass enables architects to design buildings with expansive windows, without compromising energy efficiency.
Electrochromic glass is more than just a material; it’s a testament to how innovation can transform our built environments. By merging functionality with sustainability, smart glass offers a glimpse into the future of architecture, a future where buildings are intelligent, energy-efficient, and visually striking.
Electrochromic glass is shaping the next era of construction. Whether it’s a residential tower, an office complex, or a public building, smart glass is the ideal solution for creating spaces that are not only visually stunning but also in harmony with their surroundings.
The next time you marvel at a sleek, glass-clad structure, consider the technology that makes it both beautiful and sustainable. With innovations like SageGlass leading the way, the possibilities for architecture have never been brighter or smarter.
