e-Chromic Technologies

Seed Round in 2014
e-Chromic Technologies specializes in the development of reflective electrochromic thin film designed for retrofitting existing windows in both commercial and residential buildings. This innovative thin film technology allows windows to switch from a transparent state, which maximizes natural light, to a diffuse reflective state that can block approximately 90% of solar heating when activated. Compared to traditional absorptive technologies, this product demonstrates a 43% increase in energy efficiency and is projected to reduce air conditioning costs and related CO2 emissions by about 35%. The electrochromic thin film is user-controllable and wireless, making it a versatile option for enhancing energy efficiency without the need for costly new window installations. The company aims to offer this technology at less than half the price of competing smart window solutions, further promoting its accessibility and adoption in the market.
