Smart building changes color depending on the light Bashny.Net

In West Philadelphia built glass building, smart walls that can change color depending on the light level. Due to this they will not be pale and warm, and the roof will house solar panels, microgeneration turbines and installations for water purification.


Architects love to create buildings made of glass. Glass walls from floor to ceiling provide good lighting, thanks to which people can feel like they are on the street.

Built in West Philadelphia glass building called 3.0 University Place. Its walls can change color depending on the light level.



The Windows of the building will have smart sensors that can detect sunlight and change color depending on the lighting level. Windows, created SageGlass, you can work with the remote control.

3.0 University Place can obtain Platinum LEED certification, which confirms its high environmental friendliness. On the office roof will be solar panels and microgeneration turbine. There also will be collected rainwater and purified to be used inside the building, and a garden with walking paths.
