SAGEGLASS
Description
SageGlass controls the sunlight and heat that enter a building, significantly reducing energy consumption while improving people’s comfort and well-being. SageGlass can reduce a building’s cooling load by 20% and HVAC requirements up to 30%. It is a smarter, more elegant solution than conventional sun controls such as mechanical window shades, blinds and louvres.
SageGlass is used in building envelopes to control the amount of solar heat gain whilst maintaining vision through the glazed areas. SageGlass is already installed into hundreds of homes and buildings.
