Through a combination of tax incentives and guaranteed loans, Minnesota-based Sage Electronics, Inc. has been awarded over US$100 million by the US government to produce energy-saving glass.
This innovative product, which requires only the press of a button to be switched from clear to darkly tinted and back again, could reduce the energy use of buildings by nearly a third.

Construction of the 250,000-square-foot manufacturing plant is planned for this summer and will initially employ 160 people in the green manufacturing and technology sector.

A big hats off, Sage Electronics, and many thanks US government for your support of this energy-saving innovation! We can’t wait to see more of such technologies that save energy and assist in our goal of sustainable lives.
