Descrizione del progetto
Un vetro intelligente che riduce i costi energetici
L’esposizione limitata alla luce naturale può avere un impatto negativo sulla salute umana e sulle prestazioni lavorative, ma la maggior parte degli edifici residenziali e adibiti a ufficio non ha grandi finestre o facciate in vetro e le ristrutturazioni strutturali per portare più luce naturale hanno un costo molto elevato. Il progetto Intelligent Glass, finanziato dall’UE, propone un pannello in vetro ad alta tecnologia brevettabile che consente di regolare la trasparenza, offre opzioni per spazi multifunzionali e riduce i costi energetici. La sua avanzata tecnologia interna può inoltre offrire protezione dal calore e dai raggi UV. Il progetto condurrà uno studio di fattibilità per valutare l’ulteriore sviluppo della tecnologia, stimare le opportunità di commercializzazione e confermare l’attuabilità economica del piano.
Obiettivo
Most people spend about 90% of their days indoors, especially in cities. Vast majority of commercial and residential
buildings’ windows do not transmit enough natural light to homes and offices. Reduced exposure to natural light results in
Health (increased blood pressure, stress and anxiety, weaker immune system, worse sleeping cycle), and Workplace
(decreased focus, reduced productivity, worse task progression, reduced energy level) issues. Increasing window surface
comes with a cost. On the other side, functionality of spaces is one-sided – you can't have a shared workspace and private
office in the same room, and you can't have bathroom without walls separating it from living room. Or can you?
Intelligent Glass is a patentable hi-tech glass panel that turns around the way people use natural sunlight in their homes/
workspaces. It enables transparency adjusting, creating multi-functional spaces, has intelligent automation options, and cuts
down energy costs. Also, its innovative in-house-built technology brings heat and UV protection, dimmability, usage as
touch- or presentation screen, and allows accessible end-user price for luxurious design.
The company envisages commercial and residence buildings as key targets, while also offering Intelligent Glass to internal
renovations of apartments and offices. With inbound marketing serving increasing demand, outbound direct sales and
industry events channels, Intelligent Glass can reach 600 clients and realize 4,4 mio EUR revenue in 5 years. Willingness to
buy was already validated in projects with house builders, and individual installations on Slovenian and Croatian market.
In feasibility study we want to (i) analyze further product development requirements and prepare its development plan, (ii)
assess market demand, commercialization strategy and IPR protection options, and (iii) validate economic feasibility of the
business model.
