SageGlass

SageGlass makes electrochromic glass, also called dynamic or smart glass, for commercial and institutional buildings including airport terminals. The glass tints or clears on demand to control glare and solar heat while keeping daylight and views, so blinds and shades are not needed. SageGlass is wholly owned by Saint-Gobain, the French building materials group founded in 1665 that operates in 76 countries. Its headquarters and manufacturing plant are in Faribault, Minnesota, and the company does not serve single-family residential projects.

How it works

A thin electrochromic coating on the glass changes tint when a low voltage is applied. SageGlass states that the glass blocks up to 93 percent of solar heat and reduces a building's overall energy use. The tinting is run by an intelligent control system that uses a predictive algorithm and real-time weather data, with manual override for occupants.

Products and applications

• Full-pane uniform tinting for most applications
• In-pane gradient tinting, described as the first electrochromic glass to tint on a gradient, for more daylight with targeted glare control
• Bright Silver by Saint-Gobain
• Versions for tall-span curtain walls and glazed atria, sloped glazing and retrofit projects

The site provides product and application guides, technical specifications, training and installation guides, and resources for sustainability standards. Reference projects quoted on the site include a historic facade retrofit, west-facing classrooms at Central New Mexico Community College and the Saint-Gobain North American headquarters in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
