Extensive study by ERI@N validates the performance of Halio smart-tinting glass in thermal comfort, glare and lighting energy savings


The study on Halio’s electrochromic technology at BCA SkyLab showed that smart-tinting glass could effectively improve occupant comfort and save lighting energy while keeping the natural view. 

 

SINGAPORE, 26 September 2019 – Halio International today has released the results of a full-scale real-world laboratory test on Halio® electrochromic glazing (EC) technology or known as smart-tinting glass, conducted by the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University (ERI@N) at BCA SkyLab in 2018. The test aimed to understand Halio’s impact on glare control, occupant comfort and energy consumption in comparison with traditional high-grade low-E coated glass and shut blinds, and was part of a larger study on air-conditioning systems and auto-dimming LED lights.

The test results showed that Halio’s EC technology, as a façade, outperformed traditional low-E coated glass with indoor blinds in three areas: avoiding glare, improving thermal comfort and achieving energy savings from lighting. The test benefitted from the advanced testing capabilities offered by SkyLab, such as its rotatable platform, integrated plug-n-play function, and its dual-chamber design with a test room and reference room for comparison testing.
