Miru
FOCUS: Building decarbonization, smart glass, HVAC efficiency.
OVERVIEW: Miru is commercializing electrochromic windows (“smart glass”) with disruptively low manufacturing costs for the transportation, residential, and commercial real estate markets. Smart glass permits adjustable tinting between clear and dark states with the push of a button, which enables users to control window tint through automated means. Electrochromic windows change color in response to an applied voltage, thus tuning the amount of heat and light that can pass through. By intelligently modulating incoming solar heat and light in buildings, smart windows reduce energy consumption, energy costs, and greenhouse gas emissions. Lighting, heating, and cooling costs can be reduced by as much as 20%. Smart windows will connect to any home or commercial automation system to create a customized, comfortable environment without shades or blind that compromise outside views.
The environmental and occupant comfort benefits of smart windows are clear; however, smart glass options currently available on the market are far too expensive for the average customer. Miru is revolutionizing the smart window manufacturing process to drive down production costs by more than 60%. Miru’s electrochromic windows will save energy while improving human wellness and productivity, all at price points that enable broad adoption.
