TOP BENEFITS OF COMFORT DYNAMIC GLASS

OCCUPANT COMFORT

In addition to economical benefits, Dynamic Comfort glass TM increases occupant comfort and productivity and allows occupants’ unobstructed views even in the tinted state. Studies have shown that this benefit increases productivity by 0.5–5 percent annually with improvements of indoor air quality, increased daylight and better control of office temperatures. People perform better and are more satisfied with their jobs when they have a view to the outdoors and exposure to natural daylight. Exposure to daylight has also been shown beneficial for health treatment at hospitals and study results at academic facilities.

ENERGY
SAVINGS

The case studies of recent building projects and numerous industry analyses have proven the value of Dynamic glass in terms of achieving a very low-energy-consumption building model. According to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) energy saving studies, Dynamic glass can reduce energy costs of commercial buildings by up to 28% and eliminate up to 60% of daily lighting energy needs. Dynamic glass can benefit the owner of the building by:
• 10% to 20% reductions in operating costs
• 15-24% peak demand reduction
• 25% decrease in HVAC system size  

SUSTAINABILITY & INNOVATION

Sustainability appears to have come on its own: green design is accepted, embraced and even preferred in most building projects- the construction industry has been changing quickly and buildings that were at the leading edge in terms of sustainability just a few years ago are now more standard. Increasing energy code stringency and market demand creates a challenging task for design teams to deliver innovative solutions to traditional architecture.
This forced governments of the countries to increase energy code stringency implementing new building design standards as LEED, BREEM or Net Zero Energy Building (nZEB’s).

DESIGN POSSIBILITIES

Higher efficient Dynamic Comfort glass TM enables designers to use more glass while still meeting the performance objectives of building energy codes and standards. Presently, typical office buildings have some type of interior or exterior solar controls devices such as mini–blinds or roller shades, the design view of which is often disrupts architecture of the façade. Self-tinting Comfort glass makes light control with out need add-on devices.

In fact, the use of Comfort glass provides to the architect an ability to design facades with more glass without energy loss.

Visible light transmission

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient

ViaSolis' Dynamic Comfort Glass are 100% protected against moisture negative impact. Thermal edge SEALING applied on all glass perimeter eliminates the possibility of humidity influenced semi-conductor corrosion and prevents delamination, which extends the LIFETIME of ViaSolis Glass-Glass modules for over 40 years.

Traditional Glass Requires Compromises

In a continuously changing environment, traditional glazing features are well known, deeply analyzed and fixed. Using traditional glass to determine the tradeoff between light transmission and heat compromises to balance Heat, Glare and Energy must be made. Historically shades and blinds are most common way that architects accept as only available solution.

In a study by the USGBC, shades remained shut 59% of the time in 75% of buildings studied. This makes preplanned daylighting irrelevant since natural light is not being utilized as expected. Building performance also suffers or is lower than planned if blinds stay shut. Blinds are unsanitary and costly to maintain. Dynamic Comfort glass TM aloud to use the glass with prime purpose – to see the world the way it was meant to be seen.

One of the best options to reduce total annual energy consumption in buildings is implementation of innovative dynamic solar control solution – Dynamic glass. ViaSolis’ Comfort glass in fully automatic way, continuously self-tinting adapting sun and heat controlling thanks to Suntuitive thermo-chromic technology.
