Brightlands Materials Center (BMC) celebrated its tenth anniversary. A conference at its home base in Geleen, attended by approximately one hundred guests, focused on BMC's history, its most important development (SunSmart solar control glass), and the reuse of glass.

Panel discussion on the importance of smart glass innovations

The anniversary conference also featured a panel discussion on the importance of improving energy efficiency through innovative coatings and promoting circularity. A highlight was the development of SunSmart, thermochromic smart windows that actively regulate solar heat gain and thus significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings. This smart glass offers benefits in all seasons and operates without an external energy source, making it unique and attractive for both homes and offices.

Through close collaboration and innovation, BMC works on solutions that contribute to a more sustainable society. For example, BMC collaborates intensively with organizations such as TNO and companies like GSF Glasgroep and Thomsa Glass. José Zaman of Thomsa participated in the panel discussion and shared his opinion on the importance of using dynamic glazing to save energy and
