Smart Glazing
Smart Glazing is a type of window or glass technology that can change how much light and heat pass through it, helping buildings use less energy for heating, cooling, and lighting. In energy design, Smart Glazing can use sensors to adjust how clear or dark the glass is, depending on the sun's position or the temperature outside. This helps keep rooms comfortable and saves energy by reducing the need for air conditioning or artificial lights. Some Smart Glazing uses thin layers of special materials that react to electricity or sunlight, making the glass darker or lighter as needed. Designers can use Smart Glazing to help buildings use energy more wisely and create spaces that feel better to be in.
