Crown Electrokinetics Announces Initial Purchase Orders for its Smart Window Inserts™ to be Deployed in Two Buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area
Los Angeles, California, Aug. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Electrokinetics Corp. (NASDAQ: CRKN) ("Crown" or the "Company"), a leading smart glass technology company, has received two purchase order for its Smart Window Inserts™.
The Smart Window Inserts will be delivered after Crown’s first-generation production line comes into operation this fall. The Inserts will be deployed in two buildings located in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Doug Croxall, CEO of Crown, “These purchase orders for our Smart Window Inserts™ are a confirmation of years of hard work by the entire team at Crown. While this represents the first purchase order of our Smart Window Inserts, we know they will not be the last. Crown has the only retrofit insert with dimmable smart glass technology, providing existing building owners with a solution that can affordably, effectively, and rapidly reduce their energy consumption levels.”
As part of Crown’s commitment to its vision, the Company is actively working to become a key ESG (“Environmental, Social and Governance”) supplier to US-based office buildings, by helping them retrofit their legacy infrastructure and assets to be environmentally responsible and energy efficient. Crown’s Smart Window Insert™ can lower the HVAC energy costs for building owners and help lower the building’s carbon footprint.
The recently announced Inflation Reduction Act will expand the tax incentives for retro-fitted energy improvements and has also now made them available to the Company’s REIT customers - further enhancing Crowns already significant value proposition. Other legislation, such as New York City’s Local Law 97 which targets a 40% reduction in building energy use levels by 2030, is compelling REITs to rapidly upgrade their building envelopes.
