PETER YEADON, 2008 FINALIST: SMARTSCREEN
SmartScreen is an intelligent shading system for windows and glass facades. Its numerous apertures open to permit sunlight to pass through the membrane when solar heat gain is beneficial for warming interiors. When heat is not needed, the apertures close to prevent sunlight from entering the room. The system requires no electricity.
