Our Mission:
Delightful Human Environments
Daylight
Building inhabitants enjoy the benefits of natural light, like improved mood and productivity.
Glare
Solar radiation and glare decrease when the glass is tinted, creating a comfortable indoor environment for occupants.
Heat
By admitting natural daylight and rejecting unwanted solar radiation, View Smart Windows keep occupants comfortable no matter how hot it is outside.
Inside the Glass.
Intelligence Outside
View Smart Windows are powered by an intuitive intelligence engine
Cloud Cover
Predictive weather feeds and real-time sensors anticipate and respond to cloud cover. This allows optimum daylight levels even on overcast days.
Sky Sensor
The View Sky Sensor measures illuminance using multiple photo and infrared sensors. This gives your building up to date and exact local information that feeds into Intelligence® operation.
Nearby Obstructions
Intelligence® predicts reflected glare and shadows from neighboring structures and trees to ensure all day occupant comfort and delight.
Architectural details
View Intelligence® accounts for architectural features of the building such as overhangs and external shading.
Occupant Location
Intelligence® knows where each occupant’s desk is located and the use of the space. Operation is fine-tuned based on actual occupant requirements to ensure comfort.
Latitude & Longitude
Using precise geo-coordinates, View accurately predicts local sun positions, weather, and sun path.
Intelligent Schedules
View defines custom and intelligent schedules to meet your needs. This allows flexibility to block night time light pollution or allow in more daylight.
Eliminate Shades
