If we look a little more closely at the history of dynamic building glazing industry, it is actually very obvious that the smart glass industry is in crisis. In a recent study it was tried to explain this crisis with the many barriers in the construction industry to adopt new dynamic glass technologies.
1. Introduction After the insolvency of two of the most important smart glass companies (View, Inc. and Halio, Inc.) in the first half of 2024, a discussion started on the Linkedin platform in July 2024 about the failure of the Smart Glass 1.0 industry .
Quite contrary, a major stress factor is also changing temperatures. It can be assumed that the glazing can see temperatures between −20 °C in winter and +80 °C in hot summer with full sun. This results in repeated expansion and contraction of materials with different thermal expansion coefficients: glass and polymer of the polymer electrolyte.
Other examples of commercial projects to develop and produce dynamic sun protection glass that were abandoned in the last 10 years include Gesimat (Germany), Heliotrope (USA), HIVISQ (Spain), Ravenbrick (USA) and Switch Materials (Canada). The recent additions from 2024 are View, Inc. and Halio, Inc. (both USA).
