RavenWindow dynamic glass installed at GSA's Denver Federal Center

Officials of RavenBrick announced that the company has installed its dynamic window system, RavenWindow, in a test bay of Building 41 of the Denver Federal Center, in Lakewood, Colo. The federal center is operated by the U.S. General Services Administration.

The GSA selected RavenWindow, along with a competing electrochromic technology, from a pool of 98 funded projects incorporating innovative technologies as part of their scope. As one of the 16 Green Proving Ground test-bed projects, GSA is performing enhanced measurement and verification on this previously funded/acquired technology in conjunction with the Department of Energy national labs, according to a Sept. 19 RavenBrick release.

RavenWindow's dynamic technology manages the solar heat entering into a building. Modeling results from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Lab have shown that energy bills can be cut by up to 40 percent by installing RavenWindow in a commercial building, according to the release.
