Project Brief

The innovative insulating glass window with a built-in louvre excels in protection, durability, and intelligence. It features a permanent magnet transmission system, which allows for easy control of the louvre without intricate wiring. By integrating an external motor and solar-powered charging technology, the window eliminates all exposed wiring, greatly simplifying installation and enhancing overall sealing performance. Operating the louvre is a breeze—simply use the remote control, voice commands, or the dedicated app. Additionally, the window can be seamlessly integrated into a smart home system, making it well-suited for modern living.

Sustainability

- The built-in louvre allows users to flexibly adjust the amount of sunlight streaming in, reflecting approximately 60% of solar heat outward. This excellent insulation performance reduces the load on air conditioning systems, thereby contributing to both energy saving and emission reduction.

- Integrated with solar-powered wireless charging technology, the external motor runs without using additional energy or generating carbon emissions. This design embodies the brand’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.

- With the motor placed externally, maintenance is significantly simplified, as there’s no need to replace the entire glass panel. This approach also cuts down on resource waste.
