HALIO Smart Glass is Elevating the Airport Experience

HALIO and Viracon jointly showcase the benefits of having electrochromic (smart) glass designed into an airport’s facade at ACI’s ’23 Annual Conference.


Hayward, Calif., Sept. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HALIO, designer of the world’s fastest, most beautiful, eco-friendly, and technologically advanced electrochromic (smart) glass, will be a featured speaker and exhibitor at the Airport Council International (ACI) North America 2023 Conference and Expo held in Long Beach, CA., Sept 30-Oct 2. Visitors can experience the magic of Viracon PLUS™ Smart Glass powered by HALIO®, at Booth #1349. Furthermore, a keynote presentation by HALIO’s Brady Harris -- “Elevate Your Airport Experience with HALIO Smart Glass”, will be delivered on Oct 2, at 8:45 am. 

Airport developers, operators, architects, and contractors are invited to experience HALIO’s award-winning smart glass technology and see why it’s rapidly becoming the smart glass of choice for numerous airport projects. Airports are now providing a much better overall experience for travelers.

“HALIO Smart Glass has the unique ability to quickly respond to changing sunlight conditions allowing the ideal amount of light and heat into a space to keep both airport travelers and employees comfortable, while simultaneously delivering energy efficiency and the most aesthetically pleasing smart facades,” stated Lou Podbelski, AIA, HALIO Sr. VP Business Development. “Moreover, the benefits received from a 30-50% Investment Tax Credit (ITC), plus the $20 billion in funding earmarked for airport safety upgrades and expansions through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, makes now the perfect time to design HALIO Smart Glass into any airport project,” emphasized Podbelski.

HALIO is a good fit for airports of all sizes – from regional airports to major hubs. Based on airport traffic statistics, 1 in 14 (62 million) US air travelers will experience the benefits of HALIO Smart Glass over the next 12 months. A number that will only continue to climb.
