AUSTIN, Texas and MILPITAS, Calif., March 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW) (“View”), the leader in smart building technologies, announced its Smart Windows have been installed at Uplands II, a 124,081-square-foot office building in Southwest Austin, Texas.

Developed by Drawbridge Realty and located on a 48-acre site, the recently completed Uplands II property is the second building in the Uplands Corporate Center. The property was designed for a post-Covid office environment with tenant health and wellness and building sustainability top-of-mind. View Smart Windows are fitted throughout Uplands II, providing a healthier environment, increasing energy efficiency, maximizing natural light, and enhancing the building’s panoramic views of the renowned Texas Hill Country and Austin Central Business District.

“The cutting-edge infrastructure at Uplands II will appeal to innovative tenants looking for a great location and a truly smart, interactive building that adapts to their needs,” said Mike Embree, Senior Vice President of Asset Management with Drawbridge Realty. “View Smart Windows are a differentiating amenity that increase natural light and block heat during Austin’s 300 days of sunshine while reducing the building’s energy usage and carbon footprint.”

View Smart Windows use artificial intelligence to automatically adjust in response to the sun, optimizing natural light and views of the outdoors while minimizing heat and glare. A recent study found that employees working next to View Smart Windows slept 37 minutes longer each night, performed 42 percent better on cognitive tests, and were significantly more productive. Additionally, buildings with View Smart Windows consume up to 20% less energy for lighting and HVAC.

The technology-rich design of the Uplands II property will also feature View Immersive Displays, which transform windows into transparent, digital, interactive surfaces for video conferencing, content creation, entertainment, advertisements, and more.
