St. John’s Terminal Redevelopment Installs View Smart Windows

View Smart Windows are being installed at St. John’s Terminal, the 1.3-million-square-foot commercial office redevelopment by Oxford Properties Group. Encompassing two city blocks along the Hudson River, St. John’s Terminal will be the center of Google’s Hudson Square campus.

View Smart Windows use artificial intelligence to optimize natural light and views of the outdoors while minimizing heat and glare. The result, says View, is a more comfortable and healthier environment for people.

Additionally, smart windows reduce energy consumption by reducing cooling requirements, says View. In a recent study, employees working next to View Smart Windows improved their sleep by 37 minutes per night and cognitive function by 42%.

“At Oxford, we believe in building healthier, greener, and more intelligent buildings, and View will help us to achieve all three of these goals,” said Dean Shapiro, head of U.S. development at Oxford Properties. “
