Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label

SageGlass electrochromic glass was awarded the “ Solar Impulse Efficient Solution ” label , an award for clean and profitable solutions and having a positive impact on quality of life , in September 2021 .

SageGlass has been developing the world ’ s most energy-efficient glass since 1989 . As a full subsidiary of Saint-Gobain , SageGlass plays an important role in the global market leader ’ s innovation and sustainability strategy . SageGass is now part of the # 1000solutions to change the world identified and selected by the Solar Impulse Foundation . For SageGlass , the “ Solar Impulse Efficient Solution ” label is proof of the marketability of its solutions and represents an opportunity for more visibility and credibility for its products .

The “ Solar Impulse Efficient Solution ” label is awarded to clean , profitable solutions and is one of the first labels for businesses bringing together protection of the environment and financial viability . To receive the label , businesses must first be thoroughly assessed by a pool of independent experts who examine and
evaluate the technology on the three main topics of Feasibility , Environmental Compatibility and Profitability . The first 1000 labeled solutions are part of the # 1000solutions portfolio by Bertrand Piccard , Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation . The aim of this initiative is to encourage decision-makers in business and government to fast-track the implementation of more sustainable , more environmentally responsible solutions .
Bertrand Piccard is known for his around-the-world solar flight in a specially constructed solar aircraft , the Solar Impulse . According to Piccard , the motivation for this project was the implementation of more energy-efficient , renewable energies in industry and business . Following the around-the-world trip , along with partners , Piccard founded the World Alliance for Efficient Solutions in 2017 , with the goal of identifying 1000 clean and
efficient solutions to combat the climate crisis . In 2021 , the Solar Impulse Foundation , as it is now known , achieved this goal . With this foundation , Piccard aims to show that solving climate change is not an expensive problem but rather a fantastic market opportunity . He actively speaks out against the absurdity of antiquated and polluting systems that are still popular today , using his # 1000solutions challenge to champion the benefits of existing , efficient technologies . In doing so , he hopes to push government and industry into action .
