Phytoclimatic Glass

Hi, Brian! I don't know how GBCI would view this, but given the complaints I have heard about smart glass and its tinting, I would be skeptical of biophilic benefits. Our Products & Materials Specialist did a great article about smart glass last year. A quote: "If one gazes out on a sunflower that is no longer yellow, our perception of that flower is different. And on interior objects, as the glazing tints, it can alter the perception of colors on those as well. The blue created by older products (and still there to some extent) can make reds appear purple, for instance, and the colors change as the glazing tints throughout changing daylighting conditions."  This is not necessarily insurmountable, but it's definitely an issue with smart glass.
