Saint-Gobain Glass, a supplier of flat glass for building applications with several operations in southeast Michigan, and LuxWall in Ypsilanti, which provides transparent insulation technology, have announced a strategic partnership to bring INSIO next-generation vacuum glazing to the European market.
Through this collaboration, Saint-Gobain Glass will integrate LuxWall’s Enthermal transparent insulation technology into its INSIO solution, marking an advancement for energy-efficient buildings.
LuxWall’s transparent insulation technology reportedly reimagines the role of glass in buildings,transforming it from one of the largest sources of energy loss into a high-performing solution for energy conservation, according to the company.
“We are delighted to partner with LuxWall, bringing two innovative companies together in order to meet the growing demand for energy-efficient buildings and retrofit solutions,” says Nicolas Mondy, vice president of the glass performance segment of Saint-Gobain.
“INSIO will allow us to support our customers to address building decarbonization challenge while enhancing window conception possibilities without compromising on tenant comfort.”
Energy loss through windows and glass façades accounts for roughly 40 percent of buildings’ heating and cooling demand, according to the company’s research.
By pairing Saint-Gobain Glass’s global expertise and scale with LuxWall’s transparent insulation innovation, the INSIO solution promises to help building owners, architects, and developers “drastically” reduce energy waste without compromising design or daylighting.
“Our mission at LuxWall has always been to reduce building energy consumption and carbon emissions at a price point that enables universal access for all,” says Scott Thomsen, founder and CEO of LuxWall.
“Partnering with Saint-Gobain Glass enables us to bring this mission to life on a global scale. Together, we’re transforming the building envelope from an energy liability into an essential asset for a sustainable future.”
