Privacy Glass Solutions Launches HUEE, Combining Solar Control and Instant Privacy

Privacy Glass Solutions announced the launch of HUEE Dynamic Glazing, now available to order. HUEE combines solar-control tint and instant privacy in one glazing system, available as laminated glass for interior applications and insulating glass units for compatible exterior applications. Four selectable modes allow architects and project teams to address changing daylight, glare, and privacy needs.

Real life applications

A conference room may need daylight for everyday work, glare control as sunlight changes, and visual privacy for a meeting. A hotel guest room may require views, privacy, and blackout at different times. HUEE brings these functions into a single glazing system reducing reliance on secondary window coverings.

“With four distinct glass states, clear, tinted, privacy, and fully opaque, HUEE offers a new level of versatility and control in glass technology,” says Kevin Roth, founder and CEO of Privacy Glass Solutions.

HUEE independently controls solar-control and privacy films within the glazing system. The combined states create four modes:

• Clear: Preserves daylight and views.
• SunControl: Provides tint for solar heat and glare reduction.
• Privacy: Creates visual privacy while admitting diffused light.
• Shade: Provides blackout and maximum solar control.

“The main technical challenge behind developing HUEE was eliminating the compromise between thermal insulation, daylight management, and privacy,” says Xianli (Valerie) Wang, Ph.D., R&D director and materials scientist at Privacy Glass Solutions.

HUEE can be configured for compatible exterior glazing applications, including facades, curtain walls, windows, and glazed doors, as well as interior partitions. Applications include commercial, institutional, hospitality, and residential projects.

Connected panes on one controller switch together. Users can select modes through wall controls or compatible automation systems using isolated dry-contact relay inputs, subject to project-specific configuration. Privacy Glass Solutions helps project teams coordinate glass construction, wiring, controls, installation, and commissioning.
