View Smart Glass Improves Energy Efficiency and Passenger Experience at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport
June 20 2022 - 7:00AM
View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW), a leader in smart building technologies,
announced that its smart glass has been installed at Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Airport’s (PHX) new “Eighth Concourse” at
Terminal 4, also known as T4 S1. The 275,000-square-foot expansion
occupied by Southwest Airlines formally opened Monday morning,
after a ribbon cutting ceremony attended Friday by Southwest
Airlines’ CEO, Bob Jordan, U.S. Congressman Greg Stanton, Phoenix
Mayor Kate Gallego, McCarthy Building Companies’ Southwest
President, Justin Kelton, and View’s CEO, Dr. Rao Mulpuri.
The new concourse, designed by the architecture team of
SmithGroup and Corgan to take advantage of the terminal’s natural
light and picturesque view, is enclosed with floor-to-ceiling View
Smart Glass. The glass uses artificial intelligence to
automatically adjust in response to the sun, maximizing access to
daylight and outdoor views while blocking heat and glare to
optimize passenger comfort and reduce energy consumption from
lighting and HVAC by up to 20%. View Smart Glass plays an integral
role in PHX’s plans to elevate the passenger experience and achieve
LEED Silver certification.
“We designed the Terminal 4 expansion to enhance the travel
experience and reduce the airport’s environmental impact,” said
Chad Makovsky, Director of Aviation Services for PHX. “View’s
innovative technology directly supports both goals by improving
passenger comfort while reducing energy demand.”
“We wanted the Eighth Concourse to highlight PHX’s unique
location in the Sonoran Desert and stunning views of the mountains
south of the city, but we needed a solution to reduce the intense
glare that comes with the region’s 296 days of sunshine,” said Russ
Sanders, Vice President of Design Integration for McCarthy Building
Companies, the general contractor for the project. “View Smart
Glass helped us deliver a comfortable, energy-efficient environment
without having to compromise on beautiful design.”
In a study on natural light and the airport experience,
passengers who boarded at gates with View Smart Glass were 68% more
likely to report a higher satisfaction rate and rated the airport
as 33% more modern, efficient, bright, and comfortable. A similar
study on daylight and views found that seats at gates with View
Smart Glass were 15 degrees cooler than those with traditional
windows, helping passengers stay comfortable and enabling them to
spend more time and money at restaurants, bars, and shops within
the airport.
“PHX recognizes that the airport of the future is not only smart
and sustainable but fun and enjoyable as well,” said Kristi Crase,
Director of Aviation Business at View. “Airports across the country
are adopting View Smart Glass to transform their facilities into
destinations.”
PHX is part of a growing list of airports across the country
with View Smart Glass, including New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA),
Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), San Francisco
International Airport (SFO), Dallas Fort Worth International
Airport (DFW), Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT),
Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport (SEA), Memphis International Airport (MEM),
Spokane International Airport (GEG), Bozeman Yellowstone
International Airport (BZN), and the recently announced
installation at Missoula Montana Airport (MSO).
