Electronically tintable glass at Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville, Minn., boosts energy efficiency and maximizes natural light, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
When architects designed a two-story atrium, the all-glass enclosure with south, west and east-facing walls presented a sun control and energy usage problem in terms of glare and solar heat gain.
Cleanliness and maintenance was another reason for choosing a tintable glazing product, according to the article.
The glass selected changes tint automatically throughout the day based on light sensors and the sun’s movement. The system also includes a manual tinting control to provide flexibility.
