Deil added that the company received “overwhelmingly positive” feedback from the recent American Institute of Architects AIA24 conference on design and architecture in Washington D.C., which was attended by an estimated 50,000 people.

ClearVue says it has developed several new sales tools to assist its licensed distributors in boosting sales. Its thermal modelling software, dubbed “High-rise Archetype-3″, is based on a 40-storey office building model and demonstrates how its “Power Façade” product can improve a building’s thermal performance, energy creation and energy usage.

The façade includes solar spandrels, solar cladding in a range of colours and architectural building-integrated photovoltaic units (BIPV) such as skylights and balustrade glass.

By inputting details such as expected weather conditions and the direction the building faces, the high-tech software can illustrate the benefits of using ClearVue’s array of solar products and if net-zero can be attained. The software can also determine expected payback periods based on the cost to implement the sun-performing products into the building design.

Management says in some cities, depending on the variables involved, it is possible to attain a building capable of net-zero performance.

In a bid to ensure quality control of its product range, the company developed a custom-designed “flash-tester”, which is effectively a tool to measure the power generated from its second-generation solar PV glazing products.

ClearVue also instigated an independent report on the tax benefits and incentives that could be triggered if its building products are used. The report by Californian-based consulting group BRAYN demonstrates eligibility for tax credits and incentives under the United States Inflation Reduction Act, further improving the appeal of the products.

Essentially, the IGU is a clear, double-glazed glass panel with a laminated plastic layer that sits between the two glass panels. The laminated proprietary-technology interlayer contains nano and microparticles.

Light is allowed to pass through the glass and the interlayer activates ultraviolet and infrared light and diverts the energy to thin solar strips embedded around all internal edges of the window, where they are then converted from energy into electricity. The spandrels and cladding do not contain the technology and act more like traditional solar panels.

ClearVue believes that all buildings can become standalone renewable energy hubs and is actively promoting that message to the global construction industry.
