<p>AeroShield is making the next generation of energy-efficient windows possible by manufacturing the first ultra-clear, super-insulating aerogel sheets.</p> <p>Buildings are responsible for 40 percent of energy consumption in the United States, more than half of which goes toward heating and cooling. Windows are critical elements of comfort and productivity, but in the United States they cost&nbsp;<strong>$40 billion in heating and cooling energy</strong>. Every year 50+ million new window units add to this growing problem &mdash; but what if we were no longer forced to choose between insulating our walls for indoor comfort and accessing natural daylight and beautiful outdoor views?</p> <p>Scientists from MIT have developed breakthrough advances in nanoporous glass, the same material used to insulate spacecraft, to enable a new performance class of windows that offer affordability and efficiency.</p> <p>New super-insulating material developed by AeroShield is designed to drop inside existing double-pane window manufacturing to create a window 50% more insulating &ndash; reducing energy use and improving comfort. Sealing AeroShield inside new windows enables energy&nbsp;<strong>payback faster</strong>&nbsp;than comparable products. Our thin, lightweight solution can be delivered and integrated into existing window manufacturing, achieving high performance at a low cost to enable&nbsp;<strong>$10 billion in energy savings and</strong><strong> &gt;500 million tons of CO2 reduction</strong>!</p>
