The principle

The principle of the structure of EControl® is the same as that of traditional solar control or thermal control glass. With EControl® the outer pane of an insulating glass is replaced by an electrochromic laminated pane. This basic construction is shown in the illustration below and can be combined with additional functions such as security glazing and fall protection etc.

The functionality of the switchable solar control glazing is achieved by combining it with an electronic control unit.
