Our Mission:
Delightful Human Environments

Daylighting

Daylight

Building inhabitants enjoy the benefits of natural light, like improved mood and productivity.

Glare

Glare

Solar radiation and glare decrease when the glass is tinted, creating a comfortable indoor environment for occupants.

Heat

Heat

By admitting natural daylight and rejecting unwanted solar radiation, View Smart Glass keeps occupants comfortable no matter how hot it is outside.

Inside the Glass.

Intelligence Outside

View Smart Glass is powered by an intuitive Intelligence engine.

Cloud Cover

Predictive weather feeds and real-time sensors anticipate and respond to cloud cover. This allows optimum daylight levels even on overcast days.
