Travelers expect a pleasant environment without any unwanted glare or uncomfortable sun filled areas. They want a daylight-controlled area where they can shop, dine, rest, work, or simply do nothing while waiting for their flight.
Simultaneously, airport owners and operators want to lower energy consumption, reduce maintenance, and operating costs, while providing the best possible experience for their travelers. A comfortable travel experience increases dwell time, which means more potential revenue for the airports and their vendors.
HALIO Smart Glass has set the Aviation industry standard where it matters most – energy and operational savings for the operators, and best possible traveler experience. Control your daylight the right way with HALIO.

Featured Project
Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE)
“HALIO’s electrochromic window technology will automatically darken the windows on hot, sunny days, and let in more warm sunlight on cold winter days. The technology will help the airport use less energy for air conditioning and heating and should provide about 27% in energy savings per year.”
Thomas Stoudt
Executive Director, Lehigh-North Hampton Airport Authority
“Electrochromic insulated glass provided by Halio will support sustainability design objectives by automatically tinting to help block excessive solar heat and reduce glare.”
