Nestlé S.A.
Vevey
The world’s largest food company, Nestlé, has undergone a major renovation project for its headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland. The LightZone glazing Solution replaced the former solution combining glazing and interior blinds. In 2020, 4,400 square meters of dynamic glazing were installed to offer an optimal solar and thermal protection in the offices. On these facades, the modification of the glazing tint is done in an automated way via a central unit integrating various meteoro- logical parameters but also the time periods of occupation, the surrounding landscape and the function of the spaces.
Thanks to SageGlass, Nestlé employees enjoy a pleasant view of the outside and ample natural light while being protected from glare. The smart glazing regulates solar heat gain throughout the day, ensuring optimal comfort and maximum energy efficiency, supported by the building's centralized technical management system. The project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by over 2,000 tons per year.
SageGlass aims at providing an elegant and sustainable alternative to conventional buildings' facade solutions for architects and builders looking at solving solar control challenges without sacrificing aesthetics, energy-efficiency or comfort. SageGlass dynamically adapts its tint in response to the weather conditions and the building's needs, to manage the daylight and heat in a smart way. Spaces always benefit from daylight and a free access to views to outdoors, without suffering from glare nor overheating. This thus results in reducing the building's energy use and improving the occupants' comfort and well-being.
