1 Smart. Easy. Profitable. SageGlass dynamic glass for commercial, industrial and residential buildings Generate larger and more profitable contracts, differentiate yourself from competitors, and stay ahead of the technology curve with SageGlass

2 Glass designed for people, performance and profitability SageGlass will be critical to realizing a greener, more energy-efficient future. Glazing contractors who partner with SAGE will be well-positioned to beat the competition today and tomorrow.

Dynamic glass for a changing world To sustain a growing business, glazing contractors need every competitive advantage. Yet static glass offers very few opportunities for differentiation.

3 Dynamic glass for a changing world To sustain a growing business, glazing contractors need every competitive advantage. Yet static glass offers very few opportunities for differentiation. This familiar product is the largest source of unwanted heat exchange in any building, which is troubling when you consider the growing demand for energy efficiency and the steep rise in mandated energy reduction. Clear innovation The SageGlass coatings are on the inside (air gap facing) surface of the outboard laminated lite where, when tinted, they absorb and reradiate the sun's energy, preventing it from transmitting through the inner lite. SageGlass changes everything. This dynamic glazing provides unprecedented control over daylight and solar heat, effectively rewriting energy efficiency calculations. It allows architects to include more windows in their designs, and makes it easier for building owners to justify the cost. This means that SageGlass can help you win larger installations with higher profits. 62% light transmission 38% solar heat transmission Sealed air space SUNLIGHT SOLAR HEAT 0.47 solar heat gain coefficient SUNLIGHT Sealed air space SOLAR HEAT

4 Exceptional Profitability Building envelopes are trending toward dynamic capabilities to achieve low or zero-net energy performance. There is a tremendous opportunity for glazing contractors to increase revenue and profits by offering SageGlass capability. Establish a significant and sustainable strategic advantage over competitors Attract business from architects and contractors designing high-performance buildings Add an ultra-efficient technology to your service portfolio Eliminate the need for traditional solar controls and reduce the amount of HVAC, increasing your potential share of the budget Increase your profit margin Easy Installation New glass technologies must be easy to install, and SageGlass is designed with this in mind. SageGlass IGUs are standard thicknesses and fit in most framing systems. They differ from static glass IGUs in that they have a wire pigtail extending from one edge. This pigtail is joined to the low-voltage wiring system in the building by virtue of a snap-together connector inside the glazing pocket. Clear separation of glazing contractor s and electrician s scope of work Slim snap-together connection in the glazing pocket means easy installation and re-glazing Thin low voltage wires are easily routed through framing systems Proven wiring integration drawings from previous installations available Assistance available from SAGE with wire routing and installation sequence

Tested for more than 15 years by the U.S.

5 Proven Reliability SageGlass coatings provide superior durability and long-lasting performance in windows, skylights and curtain walls. SageGlass is proven to withstand the highly stressful environmental conditions exterior glass experiences, including extreme sunlight, temperature and ultraviolet radiation. Tested for more than 15 years by the U.S. Department of Energy, glass fabricators and window manufacturers Met industry performance and durability standards for insulating glass (ASTM E2190, EN1279 parts 2 and 3) Exceeded industry EC and coating durability standards (ASTM E2141, EN1096) Surpassed the ASTM E ,000 tint/clear cycle standard by reaching 100,000 cycles under thermal (85 C) and solar exposure without loss of performance Long-Term Success The way we use glass is changing. U-factor and solar heat gain requirements are tightening. Energy reduction goals increase with every code cycle. Dynamic, ultra-efficient SageGlass gives glazing contractors a stronger position for high performance and LEED-certified projects. Enable dynamic building envelopes and mitigate the trend toward lower window-to-wall ratios Capture more energy savings and allow more glass to be used without an energy penalty Adopt the highest-efficiency dynamic glass before your competitors Elevate glazing to a strategic imperative for green buildings with fully automated controls Survived 24 months of exposure in the Arizona desert (DSET) Outperformed in the P1 test arguably the most stringent IGU evaluation in the industry Certified by the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) and the Insulating Glass Certification Council (IGCC), and is CE Mark compliant for Europe
