Wasco Skylight Products Launches Nano-Based New Glazings

Wasco Skylight Products, Inc., one of the nation’s largest skylight manufacturers, announced today it has introduced a new glass into its portfolio of high performance glazings – one with the ability to respond to fluctuating sunlight and heat conditions by electronically changing its tint. Known as electrochromic or “smart” glazing, the glass is considered by Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory (LBNL) to be “the next major advance in energy-efficient window technology” and holds the promise of transforming windows and skylights into a source of energy rather than an energy drain.
