Smart Glass is an innovative solution for enhancing energy efficiency, privacy, and workplace aesthetics in modern office environments.
Key
Drivers
Implementation
Strategy
STEP 01
Define Objectives & Requirements
​Identify the main goals of implementing smart glass: Energy efficiency, Privacy control, Aesthetic enhancement and Improved comfort and productivity.
Assess where smart glass will be used: Meeting rooms, Office partitions, Windows & facades, Executive offices or common areas.
Determine the type of smart glass technology: Electrochromic Glass: Changes opacity gradually when voltage is applied. Suspended Particle Devices (SPD): Fast-switching between transparency levels. Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC): Turns from clear to opaque instantly.
Budget Estimation: Factor in material costs, installation, and integration with smart systems.
STEP 02
Site Assessment & Feasibility Study
Conduct a workspace evaluation to:, Assess existing windows and partitions, Identify electrical & network requirements and Ensure compatibility with HVAC and lighting systems.
​
Consult stakeholders (management, employees, facility managers) for feedback.
​
Obtain quotes from smart glass vendors & compare solutions.
STEP 03
Vendor Selection & Procurement
Shortlist reliable suppliers based on: Technology quality, Cost-effectiveness, Warranty & maintenance services and Integration capabilities with smart office systems.
Finalise contracts, payment terms, and delivery timelines.
Ensure compliance with local building codes and sustainability requirements.
STEP 04
Installation & System Integration
Pre-Installation Prep: Secure permits if required, Prepare wiring for electric-controlled glass and Remove existing windows or partitions if needed.
​
Installation Process: Install smart glass panels according to vendor specifications, Connect glass panels to power sources and control systems, Integrate with IoT-enabled workplace automation (smart lighting, HVAC, voice control, etc.).
​
Testing & Calibration: Ensure smooth transition between glass states (clear/opaque), Test automation features (e.g., auto-dimming based on sunlight), Verify security, power efficiency, and reliability.
​
STEP 05
Employee Training & Change Management
Train employees on: How to use smart glass controls (manual, remote, app-based, or voice-activated), Benefits of smart glass in terms of energy savings & workplace comfort and Troubleshooting basic issues.
​
Gather feedback to make necessary adjustments.
STEP 06
Monitoring & Maintenance
Set up regular maintenance checks to: Ensure electrical components function correctly, Clean and inspect glass for damage, Update smart control software as needed.
​
Monitor energy savings and employee feedback to measure ROI (Return on Investment).
​
Adjust smart glass settings based on office usage patterns.
