Earlier generations of smart windows had tradeoffs: only the whole pane tinted, sacrificing daylight and interior color rendering for glare and heat control. SageGlass Harmony®, the most versatile option available, solves that limitation by adding an elegant, in-pane gradient capability along with whole-pane tinting.

Think Form & Function Can’t Coexist?
Rethink with SageGlass.
With smart windows, your design can feature a lot of glazing without compromising on energy efficiency and performance.
Maintain Views & Daylight
Prioritize Comfort & Wellness
Increase Energy Efficiency
Maintain Views & Daylight
Traditional buildings use manual blinds, which are typically down 50-70% of the day blocking sunlight and views. SageGlass Harmony® reduces the need for blinds and shades, resulting in more natural light and unobstructed views for occupants.
Prioritize Comfort & Wellness
Smart windows automatically tint and clear, providing solar and glare control to keep occupants cool and comfortable all day. Studies show that access to daylight and the connection to the outdoors enhance productivity and well-being.
Increase Energy Efficiency
Smart windows can significantly improve the energy efficiency of a building, reducing the dependency on HVAC systems and utility costs for building owners. Dynamic glass can even reduce summertime peak demand by 25% or more.
