Product descriptionSAGEGLASS® is an electrochromic (dynamic/smart) glazing system that automatically tints and clears in response to ambient conditions via a sensor mounted on a roof or façade. It is designed for architectural integration within insulating glazing units (IGUs) and is used to control daylight, glare and solar heat gain without mechanical blinds.
Benefits & applicationsArchitects and building specifiers use SAGEGLASS® to simplify façade design and improve occupant comfort while reducing operational energy demand.
- Applications: Offices, Higher education, Manufacturing, Retail, Cultural institutions, Health & life sciences, Airports, Hospitality
- Controls daylight and glare while maintaining view to the outside
- Reduces cooling energy and peak demand (system-dependent)
- Removes requirement for fixed shading systems
- Automated sensor-based tinting with optional manual control
- Silent state changes, plug & play installation
AppearanceSAGEGLASS® remains visually transparent when untinted and provides a uniform reflective exterior when tinted using the proprietary SR2 coating. Exterior finish options include green, bronze or Bright Silver. Available geometries include rectangles, trapezoids, triangles, skylights, ribbon and floor-to-ceiling formats.
Technical informationSAGEGLASS® is available in multiple tint configurations (Classic whole-pane tints and Harmony® gradient tints) and in double- or triple-glazed IGUs. It can be combined with neutral clears, specialty coatings or fire/safety glass as required.
- Product type: Electrochromic glass for architectural IGUs
- Control: Sensor-based automatic tinting (sensor mounted on roof/façade); manual override available
- Tint options: Classic (whole pane) and Harmony® (gradient); multiple tint states (typically 4–8 depending on configuration)
- Energy impact: Typical reduction of overall energy use ~20%; peak summertime demand reduction ~25% or more (system-dependent)
- Installation: Plug & play system; no routine maintenance required
- Operation: Silent transitions between states
- Appearance: Untinted—low-e clear; tinted—uniform reflective exterior (SR2)
- Customization: Multiple exterior finishes and a variety of shapes and sizes
- Integration: Compatible with other glass solutions and available in double or triple glazing
PerformancePerformance depends on configuration (tint option, coatings, IGU composition). Standard double-glazing performance data are provided in technical documentation; system-level benefits typically include reduced cooling load, lower peak demand, improved daylight control and enhanced occupant comfort.
Installation & maintenanceSAGEGLASS® is supplied as a plug & play system with a roof- or façade-mounted sensor. Installation follows standard IGU glazing procedures and does not require routine maintenance. Manual control and integration with building management systems are supported where specified.
