The Future of Green Building: Integrating Solar Power Into Glazing

Office buildings are covered in expensive glass that is usually designed to control solar gain, with tinting, mirroring, or fritting (patterns of dots). Israeli startup Pythagoras Solar has a better idea: instead of just bouncing or filtering out sunlight, they build photovoltaics right into the sealed double-glazed units. This is a big step forward, both controlling heat gain and generating electricity. (Treehugger)
