Smart Glass

Description

Smart glass or switchable glass is glass or glazing whose light transmission properties are altered when voltage, light, or heat is applied. Generally, the glass changes from translucent to transparent, changing from blocking some (or all) wavelengths of light to letting light pass through. When installed in the envelope of buildings, smart glass creates climate adaptive building shells, with the ability to save costs for heating, air-conditioning, and lighting and avoid the cost of installing and maintaining motorized light screens or blinds or curtains.
