SageGlass is a sustainable glazing solution that saves energy, money and the environment. This electronically tintable glass modulates light, heat gain and glare, and works well in almost all educational environments and facilities. Rather than using conventional sun controls such as window shades, blinds or louvers, SageGlass enhances occupant comfort and enables unobstructed views to the outdoors. By regulating solar heat gain, it also conserves energy and reduces the capacity requirements of HVAC systems, in turn saving institutions on lighting and air conditioning costs.
