October 05 2021 - 7:00AM
View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW) (“View”), the leader in smart building
technologies, continues its aviation sector expansion as airports
nationwide seek to modernize their infrastructure for the 21st
century. Today the company announced its Smart Windows have been
installed at Memphis International Airport (MEM) as part of the
Concourse B modernization program to elevate the passenger
experience and improve energy-efficiency.
As one of the busiest airports in the country, Memphis
International Airport is implementing a multiphase capital
improvement plan that includes the consolidation of airline and
retail operations into Concourse B as well as higher ceilings,
larger gate areas, and moving walkways. As part of the
modernization plan, View Smart Windows, which use artificial
intelligence to optimize the amount of natural light entering the
terminal while controlling heat and glare, will be installed
throughout the concourse.
“The modernization of the B Concourse will reinvent the Memphis
travel experience and welcome millions of travelers to the Memphis
community,” said Scott Brockman, President and CEO, Memphis
International Airport. “View Smart Windows are a key component of
this reinvention, ensuring that natural light levels remain ideal
for passenger comfort.”
In a study on natural light and the airport experience,
passengers who boarded at concourses with View Smart Windows
reported a 68 percent higher satisfaction rate and rated the
airport as 33 percent more modern, efficient, bright, and
comfortable. Seats in gates with View windows were also 15 degrees
cooler than those with traditional windows, contributing to higher
revenue for retailers and to significant energy cost savings due to
lower cooling requirements.
“Airports across the country are turning to View to help
transform their facilities into smart, sustainable destinations
that passengers enjoy and look forward to visiting,” said Dr. Rao
Mulpuri, Chairman and CEO at View. “Our manufacturing facility is
in a suburb of Memphis and the majority of our employees call the
area home, so we’re particularly proud to apply our technology to
create a world-class experience for travelers visiting
Memphis.”
View Smart Windows have been installed at several airports
throughout the country, including Boston Logan International
Airport (BOS), Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport (DFW), San
Francisco International Airport (SFO), New York LaGuardia Airport
(LGA), Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), Phoenix
Sky-Harbor International Airport (PHX), and Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport (SEA).
