How does SPD SmartGlassTM affect the transmission of light?
SPD SmartGlassTM allows users to control the amount of visible light passing through the glass window by up to 99% reducing solar build-up as well as reducing the need for artificial indoor/interior lighting, thereby reducing energy consumption, and for many, increasing the level of comfort and sense of well-being. In an effort to reduce glare, for example, the windows of many commercial buildings are permanently tinted, which then requires more lighting inside the building than that which is optimally needed. Natural day lighting, which can be regulated using SPD SmartGlassTM windows, has been shown to improve health and well being, and thus its regulation is considered by many to have a strong influence on one’s attitude and productivity.
