SageGlass is electrochromic glass that tints automatically. The glass panels are electro chromatically controlled panels that use two UV sensors on the roof of the building. The panels have 3 tintable zones across each sheet of DGU Glass. The panels are controlled by built-in low voltage cables that run-in floor boxes backed to a control panel and driven by a small computer.
For sustainable, comfortable and energy saving buildings SageGlass is a dynamic glazing solution combined with an intelligent control system to adapt its tint throughout the day according to occupant and climatic needs without the need for blinds or shades.
