Smart. Easy. Profitable.
Generate larger and more profitable contracts, differentiate yourself from competitors, and stay ahead of the technology curve with SageGlass
SageGlass® dynamic glass for commercial, industrial and residential buildings
Glass designed for people, performance and profitability
SageGlass will be critical to realizing a greener, more energy-efficient future.
Glazing contractors who partner with SAGE will be well-positioned to beat the
competition today and tomorrow.
Dynamic glass for a changing world
To sustain a growing business, glazing contractors need every
competitive advantage. Yet static glass offers very few
opportunities for differentiation. This familiar product is the
largest source of unwanted heat exchange in any building,
which is troubling when you consider the growing demand for
energy efficiency and the steep rise in mandated energy
reduction.
SageGlass® changes everything. This dynamic glazing provides
unprecedented control over daylight and solar heat, effectively
rewriting energy efficiency calculations. It allows architects to
include more windows in their designs, and makes it easier for
building owners to justify the cost. This means that SageGlass
can help you win larger installations with higher profits.
Clear innovation
The SageGlass coatings are on the
inside (air gap facing) surface of the
outboard laminated lite where, when
tinted, they absorb and reradiate the
sun's energy, preventing it from
transmitting through the inner lite.
62% light transmission
38% solar heat transmission

Exceptional Profitability
Building envelopes are trending toward dynamic
capabilities to achieve low or zero-net energy
performance. There is a tremendous opportunity for
glazing contractors to increase revenue and profits by
offering SageGlass capability.
Establish a significant and sustainable strategic
advantage over competitors
Attract business from architects and contractors
designing high-performance buildings
Add an ultra-efficient technology to your service portfolio
Eliminate the need for traditional solar controls and
reduce the amount of HVAC, increasing your potential
share of the budget
Increase your profit margin
Easy Installation
New glass technologies must be easy to install, and
SageGlass is designed with this in mind. SageGlass
IGUs are standard thicknesses and fit in most framing
systems. They differ from static glass IGUs in that they
have a wire pigtail extending from one edge. This
pigtail is joined to the low-voltage wiring system in
the building by virtue of a snap-together connector
inside the glazing pocket.
Clear separation of glazing contractor’s and electrician’s
scope of work
Slim snap-together connection in the glazing pocket
means easy installation and re-glazing
Thin low voltage wires are easily routed through framing
systems
Proven wiring integration drawings from previous
installations available
Assistance available from SAGE with wire routing and
installation sequence

Proven Reliability
SageGlass coatings provide superior durability and
long-lasting performance in windows, skylights and
curtain walls. SageGlass is proven to withstand the
highly stressful environmental conditions exterior
glass experiences, including extreme sunlight,
temperature and ultraviolet radiation.
Tested for more than 15 years by the U.S. Department of
Energy, glass fabricators and window manufacturers
Met industry performance and durability standards for
insulating glass (ASTM E2190, EN1279 parts 2 and 3)
Exceeded industry EC and coating durability standards
(ASTM E2141, EN1096)
Surpassed the ASTM E2141 50,000 tint/clear cycle
standard by reaching 100,000 cycles under thermal
(85°C) and solar exposure without loss of performance
Survived 24 months of exposure in the Arizona desert
(DSET)
Outperformed in the P1 test—arguably the most stringent
IGU evaluation in the industry
Certified by the Insulating Glass Manufacturers’ Alliance
(IGMA) and the Insulating Glass Certification Council
(IGCC), and is CE Mark compliant for Europe

Long-Term Success
The way we use glass is changing. U-factor and solar
heat gain requirements are tightening. Energy
reduction goals increase with every code cycle.
Dynamic, ultra-efficient SageGlass gives glazing
contractors a stronger position for high performance
and LEED-certified projects.
Enable dynamic building envelopes and mitigate the
trend toward lower window-to-wall ratios
Capture more energy savings and allow more glass to
be used without an energy penalty
Adopt the highest-efficiency dynamic glass before your
competitors
Elevate glazing to a strategic imperative for green
buildings with fully automated controls

You can adjust SageGlass manually or automatically
to manage daylight and solar heat without obstruct-
ing exterior views.
Hour to Hour
morning: SageGlass tints automatically, precisely
balancing natural light and shade
afternoon: SageGlass reacts to changing light
levels, tinting or clearing zones as needed
evening: SageGlass tints to prevent exterior
light pollution
Day to Day
cloudy days: SageGlass clears to allow maximum
natural light
sunny days: SageGlass tints to allow adequate
cooling and shade
Season to Season
summer: SageGlass rejects excess solar heat and
prevents glare, reducing demand for cooling
winter: SageGlass maximizes solar heat and light,
reducing demand for heating and lighting while zoning
for glare control
All Year Long
education: SageGlass adds natural light, aiding
student performance
government: SageGlass provides critical support for
leed® certification
commercial: SageGlass creates pleasant interiors
for visitors, customers and clients
healthcare: SageGlass brings the natural world
indoors to improve patient outcomes
