82. Intelligent and smart Glass Smart glass consists of glass treated with an electrochromic metal oxide coating, one fiftieth the thickness of a human hair. The glass transforms from transparent to four levels of tint by passing a low voltage through intelligent controls into the panels. Buildings can automatically react to their environment - if it's sunny and hot, the glass automatically tints, eliminating heat and glare, saving energy, and making occupants more comfortable. The views to the outside are preserved - instead of blocking views with shades and/or blinds, the glass transitions automatically to allow the best view while eliminating heat and glare. 82 "what glass can do for you", Greater Noida - Usha Batra & Dr K M Soni
