SageGlass Electronically Tintable Glass

How SageGlass Works

SageGlass Panes are coated with five layers of ceramic materials with a total thickness of lass than ¹/₅₀^th of a human hair. When a low voltage is applied across the coatings, ions travel from one layer to another layer causing the coating to tint and absorb light. Reversing the polarity causes the ions to migrate back to their original layer, untinting the glass.

System Overview

The SageGlass Unplugged electronically tintable skylight system can group multiple skylights into zones which are controlled together via apps for iOS or Android. A single SageGlass Unplugged system can control multiple zones. A zone is defined as a single skylights or a group of skylights that will tint simultaneously. Automatic daylight control can also be achieved using only the solar panels to monitor the intensity of sunlight.

The SageGlass Unplugged system consists of:

1) A SageGlass insulated glass unit (IGU) with attached solar panel and a controller module that includes a wireless controller and solar rechargeable battery

2) One or more SageConnect Coordinators

3) A WiFi router

4) A mobile device

Note: SageGlass can be set to automatically tint without the purchase of a SageConnect Coordinator. The coordinator is useful for controlling multiple units manually via smartphone.
