Intelligent Glass: Affordable and Maintenance-Free Solution for Transforming Homes and Working Spaces

Descripción del proyecto

Un vidrio inteligente que reduce los costes energéticos

La exposición limitada a la luz natural puede tener un impacto negativo en la salud humana y en el rendimiento laboral. La mayoría de los edificios residenciales y de oficinas carecen de grandes ventanas o fachadas de cristal. Es más, las renovaciones estructurales para introducir más luz natural tienen un coste muy elevado. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos Intelligent Glass trabaja en el diseño de un panel de vidrio de alta tecnología patentable que permite regular la transparencia, brinda opciones para crear espacios multifuncionales y reduce los costes energéticos. Su avanzada tecnología de fabricación propia puede proporcionar protección contra el calor y los rayos ultravioleta. El proyecto realizará un estudio de viabilidad para evaluar el desarrollo ulterior de la tecnología, estimar las oportunidades de comercialización y confirmar la viabilidad económica del plan.

Objetivo

Most people spend about 90% of their days indoors, especially in cities. Vast majority of commercial and residential
buildings’ windows do not transmit enough natural light to homes and offices. Reduced exposure to natural light results in
Health (increased blood pressure, stress and anxiety, weaker immune system, worse sleeping cycle), and Workplace
(decreased focus, reduced productivity, worse task progression, reduced energy level) issues. Increasing window surface
comes with a cost. On the other side, functionality of spaces is one-sided – you can't have a shared workspace and private
office in the same room, and you can't have bathroom without walls separating it from living room. Or can you?
Intelligent Glass is a patentable hi-tech glass panel that turns around the way people use natural sunlight in their homes/
workspaces. It enables transparency adjusting, creating multi-functional spaces, has intelligent automation options, and cuts
down energy costs. Also, its innovative in-house-built technology brings heat and UV protection, dimmability, usage as
touch- or presentation screen, and allows accessible end-user price for luxurious design.
The company envisages commercial and residence buildings as key targets, while also offering Intelligent Glass to internal
renovations of apartments and offices. With inbound marketing serving increasing demand, outbound direct sales and
industry events channels, Intelligent Glass can reach 600 clients and realize 4,4 mio EUR revenue in 5 years. Willingness to
buy was already validated in projects with house builders, and individual installations on Slovenian and Croatian market.
In feasibility study we want to (i) analyze further product development requirements and prepare its development plan, (ii)
assess market demand, commercialization strategy and IPR protection options, and (iii) validate economic feasibility of the
business model.
