Leaders in electrochromic technology for more than 20 years, SAGE Electrochromics, Inc. develops and manufactures electronically tintable glass products that are available to the international architectural building market. Consistently proven reliable for use in exterior building applications, SageGlass® products help reduce energy bills by controlling solar heat gain and increase worker productivity by allowing additional daylighting, minimizing glare, and enhancing occupant comfort.
SAGE was founded in 1989 by John Van Dine, and is located in the USA in the state of Minnesota, home to many major players in the glass industry, including industry leading glass fabricators and window manufacturers. SageGlass® products have been successfully integrated into many commercial window, curtainwall, and skylight systems. They have been commercially available since 2003, and are installed in hundreds of buildings worldwide.
Buldings account for approximately 40 percent of primary energy use globally. SageGlass ® windows have the potential to reduce building heating and air conditioning equipment requirements by up to 25%, resulting in major construction and maintenance cost savings. SageGlass® windows can also reduce cooling loads by up to 20%, lower peak power demand by as much as 26%, and reduce lighting costs by up to 60%.
SAGE’s vision, the product´s innovative technology and its ability to contribute to high-performance green buildings in the new “energy economy," have allowed SAGE to enjoy continued growth. The company is planning a five-fold expansion of its operations over the next few years. The new facility will be a state of the art, high volume manufacturing facility that will expand product features while decreasing manufacturing costs and lead times.
SAGE products and technology have won numerous awards and honors. In addition to being selected as a 2006 Top 10 Green Building Product by BuildingGreen, Inc., SAGE has been honored by such organizations as The Wall Street Journal, INC. Magazine and Building Operation Management magazine.
