Soladigm announces new glass product, changes company name to View, Inc.

Glass is installed and operating at W San Francisco adjacent to the 2012 Greenbuild show


By Posted by Tim Gregorski, Senior Editor | November 13, 2012

View Inc., a manufacturer of dynamic glass, announced that its commercial-scale dynamic glass product is ready for global deployment. Concurrently, the company has changed its name to View in order to better align with its strategic vision that a clear, uninterrupted view is the catalyst for a fundamental change in how people design and interact with buildings.

View Dynamic Glass has intelligence built in: by continually adjusting to external conditions, it provides vivid, comfortable views, free from unwanted heat and glare—24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With commercial-scale availability, View Dynamic Glass creates new possibilities in building design, ambience, and user experience, while dramatically reducing energy consumption. In a typical commercial installation, annual HVAC and lighting energy consumption is reduced by 20 percent while HVAC peak load is reduced by 25 percent.

View Dynamic Glass is suited for commercial buildings, homes, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, government facilities, skylights and atria, and hotels and restaurants. View has established direct sales and distribution networks in the United States and is expanding internationally. View will showcase its large-scale dynamic glass for the first time at the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, the world’s largest conference dedicated to innovation in green building design, set to take place Nov 14–16 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. View Dynamic Glass is also installed and operating at W San Francisco adjacent to the show.
