Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) has selected Smart Windows from Milpitas, CA-headquartered View for use in Phase II of the airport’s Concourse A expansion.
View, which specializes in smart buildings technologies, said this is its second project at CLT, following Phase I’s installation of View Smart Windows in 2018 for the Concourse A Connector and Gates A21-29.
View Smart Windows increase exposure to daylight and access to views, elevating the passenger experience, by provide more natural light and less glare. Seats at the gates with View Smart Windows are also 15 degrees cooler than at gates with traditional windows, leading to a more comfortable passenger environment, the company added.
“CLT is expanding its terminal with a focus on enhancing the customer experience, and the expansion of Concourse A is an important element of that effort,” said Jack Christine, CLT’s chief infrastructure officer. “View Smart Windows helped us enhance passenger comfort while reducing our carbon footprint in Concourse A – Phase I, and we’re pleased to incorporate the technology once again as part of Phase II of the concourse expansion.”
CLT’s Phase II project is a 189,000-square-foot expansion that will add ten gates and three levels, and all Phase II gates and levels will feature View Smart Windows.
