GLASS FOR FAÇADE 2021

56 57 GLASS FOR FAÇADE EDITION 2021 GLASS FOR FAÇADE EDITION 2021 Product SageGlass® LightZone® brick, original factory glass and steel frames plus modern porcelain-wood floors. For most of the six-story building’s windows, the design team chose SageGlass® electrochromic glass, which dynamically tints to reduce glare and heat, while preserving daylight and views. Since the large glass windows are mostly facing west and east, the heat gain from solar insolation would have been substantial. The planners did not want to spoil the view of the old factory windows with blinds. As a result of the installation of SageGlass® LightZone®, the building’s cooling requirements were significantly reduced while preserving the historic appearance of the old factory.
