iWindow Office Building RetrofitLocation: Bellevue, Washington
Product: iWindow AL Series
Construction Type: Commercial Retrofit
Objective: Improve the thermal inefficiency of office rooms on the west facade of the building, with relatively high window-to-wall ratios. Existing windows are monolithic bronze tinted glass captured in a tubular aluminum framing system with wood interior surrounds. Employees working in these offices feel too cold in winter months, with office desks placed around the perimeter of the rooms against the windows. In addition, employees experience a tremendous amount of disturbing glare and reflective solar heat gain through the windows.
Serious Solution: iWindow powered by SeriousGlass LSHG glass package in Dark Bronze
No downtime in productivity; immediate winter-time comfort benefits
iWindow was installed directly by building personnel, in as little as 20 minutes per iWindow panel, while office employees were working at their desks, eliminating any downtime in work productivity. iWindow improved the interior glass surface temperature by 9.9°F, and employees experienced immediate comfort improvements post-install and disruptive, uncomfortable glare was eliminated.
