Integrated building material solar power generation glass "Sunjoule"

AGC Inc. exhibited Glassiled and Sunjoule at the Smart Building EXPO. Additionally, they showcased the smart dimming glass system 'HALIO' from Haylio International. ■Facade signage system using LED-integrated glass Glassiled During the day, it presents an elegant glass facade, and at night, it transforms into a massive signage system with the flip of a switch. This media facade maintains the transparency of the glass while allowing the built-in LEDs to be freely illuminated, richly enhancing the facade. ■Building-integrated solar cells Sunjoule A highly designed energy-generating system that utilizes glass in openings. It effectively harnesses sunlight and the vast sky to generate electrical energy from the glass, contributing to ZEB (Net Zero Energy Building). ■Smart dimming glass system HALIO A next-generation smart dimming glass system that utilizes cutting-edge IoT technology, allowing control of light and heat according to preferences. It minimizes glare and heat influx without obstructing views, creating a comfortable indoor space that maximizes natural light.

We jointly exhibited with Helio International and Thermic Co., Ltd. 【Exhibited Products】 ■Facade Signage System <Glashired> Depending on the user's needs, it allows for flexible content selection such as logo display, full-color video advertisements, and LED lighting. During the day, it functions as regular glass, and at night, the built-in LEDs can be freely illuminated to richly enhance the facade. https://www.agc-gk.com/bldg/products/glassiled/ ■Smart Dimming Glass System <Helio> It changes uniformly from clear to dark and can be dimmed to the desired level according to lifestyle. It creates a comfortable indoor space that utilizes natural light without the excessive heat or glare from sunlight. https://halioglass.jp ■Building Material Integrated Solar Power Generation Module <Sunjoule> This is a highly designed energy-generating system based on laminated glass types. It combines a sense of openness with thermal shielding performance, contributing to ZEB (Net Zero Energy Building). https://www.agc-gk.com/bldg/products/sunjoule/

AGC's solar power-generating glass has been adopted at Takanawa Gateway Station, which opened on March 14, 2020, in Shinagawa, Tokyo. Takanawa Gateway Station aims to be a gateway connecting Tokyo to the world, based on the concept of "Global Gateway Shinagawa." It is positioned as a place to start new initiatives, with the introduction of the latest station service facilities and ongoing demonstration experiments. As part of this effort, AGC's "Sunjule" series, which combines solar power generation capabilities with the bright spaces characteristic of glass, was adopted from the perspective of wanting to balance the environmental conservation technologies promoted by JR East, known as "Eco Station" initiatives, with a design that ensures daylighting. The "Sunjule" has been installed in two locations: the roof of the platform heading towards Tokyo and the glass walls inside the station, contributing to a station that considers both the environment and comfort. *Eco Station initiatives involve the introduction of various environmental conservation technologies, such as energy-saving and renewable energy, into the station. They are based on four pillars: "Energy Saving," "Energy Creation," "Eco Experience," and "Environmental Harmony," with each eco menu being implemented at the station.
