VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW) (“View”), the leader in smart building technologies, today announced its smart windows have been installed at the newly opened Versante Hotel, in Richmond, BC.

The complex consists of numerous new high-end retail and restaurant options, as well as two Class-A office towers.
Guests in each of Versante’s 100 luxury rooms and suites enjoy access to View Smart Windows, which use artificial intelligence to automatically adjust in response to outdoor conditions, eliminating the need for blinds and optimizing thermal comfort.

A recent study found that people working next to View Smart Windows slept an average of 37 minutes more per night and experienced half as many headaches compared to those working next to standard windows with blinds.
The distinctly designed rooms at the Versante Hotel feature vibrant colours with bold designs and textures in addition to lavish amenities such as freestanding soaker bathtubs that sit next to the floor-to-ceiling View Smart Windows. From their rooms, guests will be able to enjoy continuous, glare-free views of the North Shore mountains, Fraser River and Vancouver Island.
