The document discusses innovations in glass facades, specifically electrochromic glass. It notes that while glass provides benefits like natural daylight, it can also cause heat and glare issues. Electrochromic glass allows control over heat and glare through changing opacity and has three key benefits: 1) comfort and design flexibility from temperature and glare control, 2) sustainability from energy savings of up to 60% on lighting and 25% on AC, and 3) freedom of design.

Need of glass: Natural daylight, connection to the outdoors, Design.
Basic challenges for glass: Heat and glare that can counteract the positive benefits of daylight and view. History of sunshade - Atria (Mediterranean regions), Awnings, Celosias. Electrochromic glass - Control over heat and glare. In pane zoning - Comfy, Dividing a single pane of glass into three zones; flexible. Electrochromic glasses possess unique benefits like prestige and innovation, comfort and design, sustainability and simplicity. No maintenance costs, thus saves energy; Boosts human productivity. Save up to 60% on lighting and 25% on air conditioning. Freedom of design Applications
