✶ Combines sales values of at least three premium
products in one multifunctional device
Advantages✹ Enables a highly di�erentiated
product line that:
✶ O�ers comfortable working
and living environment
without obstructing or
altering the views
✶ Eliminates installation, maintenance and replacement
costs associated with mechanical blinds
✹ Expands product value and profit margin potential
✹ Integrates with conventional IGU designs and does not
require an upfront investment in dedicated
manufacturing infrastructure
Key Features✹ Electronically modulates visible light transmission from
less than 3% to the high of 67%*
✹ Completely blocks all in-coming IR and UV light
components
✹ Delivers best in class sound performance of STC > 42
✹ Constructed as a self-contained unit with its own
primary and secondary seal for structural and
environmental durability
✹ Integrates in inboard or outboard position with all
standard double and triple pane IGU designs to meet
and exceed window energy code requirements
✹ When used in conjunction with high performance
Low-E glass can deliver SHGC < 0.1
✹ Maintains esthetically pleasing neutral gray appearance
across the entire dimming range
Benefits✹ Does not require any significant modifications to the
IGU production process or manufacturing equipment
✹ Transfers the value otherwise attributable to blinds to
the IGU
NanoEC™ SPU™ (Smart Pane Unit)
By replacing an outboard lite with Heliotrope’s NanoEC™ SPU™, IGUs will gain all the benefits of
electronic blinds, sound insulation, security, & UV protection without disturbing the perfect view.

• Tempered glass for
impact protection
• Sound insulation
• Total UV Protection
• On-demand glare &

Optimized PerformanceNanoEC™ SPU™ can be custom configured for multiple
IGU designs. All NanoEC™ SPU™ are produced cut size with
width, length and thickness optimized for integration with a
specific IGU configuration. Outboard position of NanoEC™
SPU™ is the most common configuration when integrating
in a double or tribble pane IGU. The outboard position
allows NanoEC™ SPU™ to deliver the lowest SHGC values
at the IGU level. At the same time, inboard NanoEC™ SPU™
position in a double or triple pane IGU is also possible.
All NanoEC™ SPU™ are produced as self-contained units
equipped with their own primary and secondary seals. This
unique design feature ensures continued performance of
the NanoEC™ SPU™ even in the unlikely event of IGU seal
being compromised.

NanoEC™ SPU™
Desired AestheticsNanoEC™ SPUs™ uniquely satisfy architects,
designers and homeowners by maintaining their
transmitted as well as reflected color with the
stringent requirements in both dark and bright states.
The exact color performance at the IGU level is a function of combined color
of NanoEC™ SPU™ and Low-E glass used as a part of the IGU design.
Sound InsulationThe unique, double-laminated construction of a
NanoEC™ SPU™ into an IGU allows for best-in-class
shielding from outside noise, resulting in enhanced
comfort, and increased real estate value.
A quieter home is a more valuable home. Studies show that a
10db reduction in noise level (such as what is gained through
NanoEC™ IGUs) can make over 6% di�erence in the value of
the residence or o�ce.
UV ProtectionProvides complete protection (>99%)
from harmful UV-A and UV-B rays that
cause irreversible fading and sun damage
on everything from furniture, cabinets
and carpet to wood, paint and artwork.
