View Smart Windows Improve Energy Efficiency and Passenger Experience at Missoula Montana Airport
May 16 2022 - 7:00AM
View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW), the leader in smart building
technologies, continues its expansion in the aviation sector,
announcing that its Smart Windows have been installed at Missoula
Montana Airport’s (MSO) new South Concourse Terminal expansion
project.
Scheduled to open in early June, the new terminal includes five
new gates to accommodate record growth in passengers visiting the
region’s seven wilderness areas and blue-ribbon trout fishing
rivers. View Smart Windows are a key component of MSO’s expansion
project, which aims to lower the airport’s carbon footprint and
establish MSO as Montana’s flagship airport. The windows use
artificial intelligence to automatically adjust in response to
outdoor conditions, providing continuous views of the surrounding
Missoula Valley and Northern Rockies while blocking heat and glare
to optimize passenger comfort and reduce energy consumption from
lighting and HVAC by as much as 20%.
“MSO is the gateway to Western Montana, and we wanted the new
terminal to showcase the region’s spectacular natural beauty,” said
the airport’s Deputy Director Tim Damrow. “View Smart Windows help
us deliver a truly state-of-the-art facility that is
energy-efficient and enclosed in floor-to-ceiling windows with
stunning views.”
In a study on natural light and the airport experience,
passengers who boarded at gates with View Smart Windows were 68%
more likely to report a higher satisfaction rate and rated the
airport as 33% more modern, efficient, bright, and comfortable. A
similar study on daylight and views found that seats at gates with
View Smart Windows were 15 degrees cooler than those with
traditional windows, helping passengers stay comfortable and
enabling them to spend more time and money at restaurants, bars,
and shops within the airport.
“MSO recognizes that the airports of the future will be designed
to measurably enhance the passenger experience and improve facility
operations,” said Kristi Crase, Strategy Director, Aviation at
View. “Airports across the country are rapidly adopting View’s
smart building technology, and we are thrilled to partner with MSO
to transform Western Montana’s biggest airport into a destination
in itself.”
MSO is part of a growing list of airports across the country
with View Smart Windows, including Boston Logan International
Airport (BOS), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), New York
LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Dallas Fort Worth International Airport
(DFW), Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), Chicago
O’Hare International Airport (ORD), Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airport (PHX), Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
(SEA), Memphis International Airport (MEM), Spokane International
Airport (GEG), and the recently announced installation at Bozeman
Yellowstone International Airport (BZN).
