Ultra-Efficient Windows

Windows are the cornerstone of passive solar design, and selecting appropriate windows is critical to success. Unfortunately few windows meet passive solar requirements. Heliocentric teamed up with SeriousWindows to bring high performance passive solar windows to green builders, architects, and homeowners.

• R5 to R21 – up to 5X more insulating than EnergyStar®
• Optimized passive solar performance
• Custom tuning: morning warmth/afternoon coolness
• Argon, Krypton & Xenon gas fill to any altitude

Phase Change Materials

We offer phase change materials that provide light weight heat storage for buildings with 100 times the effectiveness of traditional thermal mass. PCMs provide the freedom to add thermal mass anywhere, even when traditional heavyweight solutions would be impractical.

• Phase change veneer plasters
• Bulk material or micro-encapsulated
• Effective thermal mass without direct sun exposure
• Thermal mass without costly structural upgrades
• Renewable vegetable-based phase change waxes
