Physee Technologies is a Dutch company specializing in innovative glass solutions for sustainable buildings. Their technologies transform ordinary glass into energy-generating and smart components without sacrificing aesthetics.
Company Overview
Physee, founded in 2014 at Delft University of Technology, developed products like PowerWindow—transparent solar windows using luminescent coatings to capture sunlight and generate electricity via edge-mounted PV cells. They also created SENSE, a system leveraging sensors for natural light and temperature control to boost energy efficiency and indoor comfort. In February 2024, Physee merged with EDGE Next to form Next Sense, focusing on AI-driven decarbonization for real estate.yesdelft+6
Key Technologies
- PowerWindow: Transparent photovoltaic glass that produces power while allowing full visibility, ideal for facades.[thegreenvillage]
- SENSE: Sensor-based platform optimizing building climate using outdoor conditions, aiding certifications like BENG and GRESB.[physee]
- PAR+: Luminescent coating for greenhouses converting UV to usable light, boosting crop yields by 8%+.[physee]
Relevance to Sustainability
These solutions align with energy-neutral buildings, supporting EU goals for ESG compliance and urban regeneration—highly relevant for architects working on eco-innovative projects in sustainable urbanism. Next Sense continues this via data-driven platforms for retrofitting.cbinsights+2
