SAGE Electrochromics, Inc. is the world’s leading manufacturer of electronically tintable glass that can be tinted or cleared to optimize daylight and improve the human experience in buildings. SAGE provides the solution to a significant cause of energy waste—the conventional window. Buildings are the largest source of energy consumption in the world, and energy lost through today’s inefficient window stock accounts for approximately 30% of the energy in the U.S used to heat and cool buildings. SageGlass® enables you to control the sunlight and heat that enter a building, without shades or blinds, significantly reducing energy consumption while improving people’s comfort and well-being. SageGlass offers this superior performance at a cost comparable to conventional sun control solutions. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that electronically tintable window systems, such as SageGlass, are capable of providing a 20% savings in operating costs and can reduce HVAC requirements by 25%. SageGlass is a smarter, more elegant solution than conventional sun controls such as mechanical window shades, blinds and louvers. SAGE was founded in 1989 and is headquartered near Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, in the heart of “the Silicon Valley of the window industry.” SAGE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Saint-Gobain of Paris, France, the world’s largest building materials company.
