Smart
Glass

HALIO solves the problem of managing daylight by reducing solar heat, minimizing glare, and blocking UV while maximizing window-to-wall ratios. No need for shades or curtains. See your world unobstructed.

We develop and manufacture the world’s most advanced electrochromic technology. Our autonomously tinting smart glass reacts in real-time, uniformly, offering 101 levels (in cool grays), transitioning in 3 minutes, from clear to fully tinted. It is controlled by an AI cloud-based system with minimal on-premise electronics and a Sky Camera that seamlessly integrates into any smart building management system.

HALIO delivers energy savings, increases property value, enables tax credits, and enhances occupant productivity and wellness, while allowing architects the greatest freedom of design choice with unobstructed views.

HALIO for Higher Education

Higher education buildings with smart glass dramatically impact the overall environment and wellness of the occupants. Studies show that the positive effects of daylight and unobstructed views are proven to increase student cognitive scores. Faculty are more productive with less absenteeism. Energy and maintenance costs drop, and administrators are better able to recruit students and faculty for a more desirable facility.

The award-winning LEED Gold sustainable design features materials including smart glass, to improve the comfort of the interior space and reduce energy needed to heat and cool the building.

Halio delivered a comfortable environment by mitigating solar glare and heat gain while preserving views to the exterior. We placed seating in challenging west and south facing perimeter areas where students gather in communal spaces and eating areas.
