Electrochromic Glass
Electrochromic Glass is a special type of smart glass that can change how much light passes through it when a small electric charge is applied. In building technology, this glass helps control sunlight and heat inside spaces by turning darker or lighter as needed. Designers can use this glass in windows, skylights, and even glass walls to help keep rooms cooler and reduce glare without using blinds or curtains. This glass can be set to change automatically based on sunlight or controlled by a switch, making it easy to use in homes, offices, or public buildings. Some new versions can even be powered by solar panels built into the glass itself, which helps save energy.
