SAGE Introduces Energy-Efficient Window Glass
SAGE Electrochromics unveiled the world's most energy-efficient window glass in April of 2010. The new suite of window glass products is the first to marry electronically tintable “dynamic window” technology with high R-value, triple-pane construction. The result is a window that provides greater thermal and visual comfort than any equivalently configured glazing product in the history of the industry. The windows can contribute to LEED building credits and decrease HVAC system size. For more information, visit Sage Electrochromics.
