Thermochromic Smart Glass

Suntuitive dynamic glass is the most used dynamic glass technology in the world.

Thermochromic smart glass.

Using patented thermochromic filter technology ravenwindow automatically controls the amount of light heat and unwanted glare that passes through the glass without the need for manual controls wires or electricity. Smart glass or switchable glass also smart windows or switchable windows in those applications is a glass or glazing whose light transmission properties are altered when voltage light or heat is applied. An emerging technology in window design is thermochromic glass. Since the transmittance in the dark state is around the 10 mark the view to the outside world is maintained but glare is also reduced improving productivity and speeding recovery times in hospitals.

Vario sun is a thermochromic glass product that automatically tints in the presence of heat. Due to its intuitive interlayer vario sun reduces the amount of solar energy being transmitted through the glass. In general the glass changes from transparent to translucent and vice versa changing from letting light pass through to blocking some or all wavelengths of light and vice versa. Electrochromic glass which can be directly controlled by building occupants is popular for its ability to improve occupant comfort maximize access to daylight and outdoor views reduce energy costs and provide architects with more design freedom.

This allows the windows to drastically reduce the heat load coming into the building and because the glass transmission adapts continuously over a range of temperatures a natural balance and maximum use of. The thermochromic glass simply uses heat from direct sunlight to tint the windows when necessary. The concept behind smart glass is nothing new and there have been various versions of the technology over the years some less smart than others. Discover glass that greatly improves thermal and visual comfort.

This innovative smart material changes tint automatically using heat and light from the sun to darken or lighten the tint of the glass reducing glare and increasing energy efficiency inside the building. Smart glass is the glass that is equipped with electrochromic photochromic and thermochromic materials which help to regulate the amount of light passing through it as they change their physical property of transparency to translucency and vice versa. This self tinting glass needs no electrical connections. The more direct and intense the sunlight is on the glass the darker it will become.

Thermochromic smart glass has clear benefits in reducing solar heat gain into buildings reducing air conditioning costs and contributing to net zero construction. Due to covid 19 s impact on our operations pleotint llc has decided to temporarily suspend all production and sales activities of its suntuitive product line.
