ClearVue Technologies | Power Glass
A CLEARVUE OF POWER GENERATION ClearVue Technologies has developed a sustainable construction solution that responds to the climate crisis by reducing the carbon footprint within construction projects, supporting the world wide mission to achieve zero net energy use in buildings. ClearVue’s core offering is a highly energy efficient, clear glass panel that generates electricity, while providing a high degree of insulation, light penetration and protection from harmful UV rays.
Construction of ClearVue’s world first clear solar glass greenhouse was completed in April 2021 at Western Australia’s Murdoch University. The ClearVue glass panels are providing a high level of insulation, with conditions in the glasshouse being maintained within 1 to 2 degrees of the ‘sweet spot’ for optimal plant growth, measured by sensors that record a myriad of data in real time relating to temperature, humidity and light that the plants are receiving.
ClearVue has a triple glazed product that is certified and is available for projects today. Additionally, ClearVue has now developed new prototypes of single and double glazed power producing panels, significantly broadening its offering.
ClearVue solar glass is to be installed in a Sydney park in a covered seating area where the structure will provide protection from UV and infrared rays, while generating power for lighting.
ClearVue panels are soon to be trialled in an iconic New York building in anticipation of a future refit to reduce its overall carbon footprint. “Older, energy inefficient buildings in New York will be incurring heavy carbon taxes and there is a need to significantly reduce power usage and increase building performance through better insulative solutions,” said Executive Chairman, Victor Rosenberg. “The trial will demonstrate the capability of ClearVue’s technology to produce clean, renewable power while retaining high transparency and reduced heating and cooling costs through the insulation properties of ClearVue’s IGU panels.” WWW.ANCR.COM.AU
“ClearVue products are both energy saving and energy producing,” Victor said. “Our smart technology represents a paradigm shift in the way glass will be used in the future, not only as a building product, but also as a renewable energy source.”
