Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
|
The project will commercialize electrochromic window technology, a state-of-the-art window film that allows the user to control the light and heat that passes through a window, thereby reducing building operating costs. The $1 million from the state is matched with $1 million from the federal government and with private funding to promote a Florida-based electrochromic industry. |
