Project Details

WINCO Window Company had an energy efficient, smart window solution already in the works. During development, WINCO was able to make a window that encapsulates an automated shade system between two panes of glass and integrates with Building Management Services (BMS).

For the Washoe County School District, the design intent for this window focuses on security with the automated shades connecting to the school’s security system. When the school’s security system is tripped during a code red situation, the entire building’s shades, including exterior windows and interior windows of classrooms, all go down at once. The lockout system overrides the individual classrooms’ controls. Since the shades are an integral component to the Transira™ Windows by being between two panes of glass, nothing obstructs the shades going down and the shades cannot go up until there is an administrative “all clear.”

During the development process, it was quickly discovered that this product is extremely desirable for multiple other facets, including massively reduced heating and cooling loads through environmental-based automation or BMS integration; a large boost in occupant comfort through daylight harvesting; and reduced temperature swings. Considering the shade is inaccessible between two pieces of glass, there’s no risk of the shade being damaged.

Another advantage of the design having the shades built in between two panes of glass is that it neutralizes the possibility of fabric drapery or blinds as a source of contamination while simultaneously reducing operating costs, harnessing daylighting, and dramatically streamlining and sanitizing the user interface for a room's lighting and privacy.
