Delivering Suspended Particle Device (SPD) Control Systems for Optimum Energy Efficiency since 2005

 

People and businesses throughout the world are discovering a new type of window glass. Suspended Particle Device (SPD) windows can instantaneously be adjusted to “tune” the amount of light, glare and heat passing through the windows.  The SPD Smart Window markets include automotive, architectural, marine and aerospace.  SPD Control Systems Corporation (SCSC) provides control systems to operate SPD Smart Windows using our patented technology.

 

The SPD technology has significant benefits over fixed tinted windows and preceding glass tinting technologies such as its unparalleled ability to rapidly and precisely change to any desired transparency level (clear through dark) within 1 to 3 seconds regardless of the window size, its ability to be used in polycarbonate or glass windows, its ability to be applied to curved surfaces, its wide range of operating temperatures, its uniformity of change, its 94% blocking of solar heat, its clear haze-less windows,  and its lower cost to manufacture.

  

SPD Smart Glass provides a potential of savings of more than 25% of the electrical usage of residential homes and office buildings through dynamic control of solar heat through windows.  The result is a dramatic reduction in HVAC energy usage.  With the maximum use of daylight to reduce artificial lighting there is a further reduction of electrical consumption that increases the overall energy savings beyond 25%. 

 

SPD Control Systems Corporation is a Cleantech company that creates intelligent electronic controllers and energy management systems that drive this Smart Glass to achieve its optimal energy saving performance. Our vehicle-based controllers allows this Smart Glass used in cars, trucks, buses, airplanes, trains, and boats to reduce AC requirements thereby decreasing fuel consumption or conserving battery life in electric vehicles.

 

SPD Control Systems Corporation (SCSC) provides building and automotive control systems that optimize energy efficiency.  Our systems are flexible platforms easily customized to customer requirements for controlling building and automotive systems with energy efficiency as a primary goal. 

 

Our TintMaker Automotive Controllers provides an unprecedented level of sophistication for driving Smart Glass windows and taking input from vehicles subsystems to control the tint level of the windows. TintMaker optimizes glass tinting to reduce heating and air-conditioning requirements, and thus fuel consumption and its carbon footprint.  

 

Our Building Energy Management Control System, using wireless technology, enable all of the windows in a residence or commercial building to have “building intelligence.”  This will optimize energy utilization of buildings, improve occupant comfort and productivity, enhance aesthetics, and support sustainable building design.  The building's windows are controlled manually and automatically.  Automatic mode allows for presets, sensor and advanced algorithm control. Presets provide the times in the day when tint settings change to a designated value. Light and occupancy sensors automatically control the tint levels based on sensor detected events. Advanced solar heat gain algorithms are targeted at reducing the energy usage of a building.

 

Our patent for SPD controllers covers the automotive, aerospace, marine and architectural markets. 

 

    

      

Imagine the day when a fifty story mid-rise will change its glass “skin” façade as the day progresses, taking into account the landlord’s operational requirements, tenant customization, the temperature outdoors, and the amount of sunlight hitting each window – Welcome to the world of windows controlled by SCSC.”
