View, Inc. (View), the foremost
innovators in smart building
technology, has made history by
having their Smart Windows installed
at the Durst Organization’s 71-story,
755-foot skyscraper, the Sven, in Long
Island City — making it the tallest residential
building in North America to
feature smart windows.
“View glass reduces energy use and
provides access to natural light and
unobstructed views,” said Durst. “It
epitomizes Sven’s approach to sustainability
by simultaneously using energy
and our natural resources effi ciently
and creating a place where people are
healthy, productive and happy.”
The Smart Windows are a reinvention
that will change the future of the
real estate industry, said the View
team, referring to the significant
advantages that the Smart Windows
have on homes when compared to
the heat-strengthened glass typically
chosen by developers. The Smart
Windows diff er from common glass in
that they utilize artifi cial intelligence
to remotely adapt to heat and glare,
completely eliminating the need for
blinds, minimizing energy intake from
all home mechanical systems (such as
HVAC) “by as much as 20 percent,” according
to View, while also providing
substantial health benefi ts to their
users.
According to View analysts, a recent
study discovered that individuals
living in buildings with View Smart
Windows “slept 16 minutes longer and
experienced 11% less anxiety” than
those living in homes with standard
windows and blinds.
“View is on a mission to transform all
buildings into smart, healthy, and sustainable
occupant experiences,” said,
CEO of View, Dr. Rao Mulpuri. “We
are gaining signifi cant traction in the
multi-family sector and are thrilled to
partner with Durst to bring the gamechanging
benefi ts of our technology to
residents of Sven.”
The Durst Organization (Durst) is
one of the country’s leading real estate
developers, owners and managers,
with about 13 million square feet of
offi ce space and three million square
feet of residential space. Durst heavily
prioritizes environmental sustainability
when constructing their buildings,
according to their website, which is
why they weave “residential wellness”
into the Sven building’s design and
management, as seen by their watereffi
cient fi xtures and all of the building’s
mechanical systems set to reduce
energy consumption, further limiting
Sven’s C02 emissions. Durst installed
the View Smart Windows as another
layer of their sustainability mission,
according to the Durst Organization,
due to the Window’s enhanced energy
effi ciency, natural light optimization,
and its source for continuous outdoor
views.
