Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) reported in a November 2022 study that highly-glazed skyscrapers can reduce energy use and emissions by 40% with high-performance glazing.
“If we choose to keep making these (highly glazed) buildings, we’ve got to reconcile their lower performance somehow, and PV windows are one way to do that.” Lance Wheeler, NREL
You can read more below about how NEXT's wavelength-selective PV glazing technology, when paired with PV panels, is expected to enable a skyscraper to achieve a net-zero energy status.
