Perth-based ClearVue Technologies Ltd has teamed up with sustainable builder Mirreco Holdings Pty Ltd to supply its solar glass technology and jointly develop carbon-negative residential and commercial housing solutions.
A “trial” home combining the two firms’ technologies will be completed in the last quarter of the year. The prototype house will integrate with a range of environmentally friendly solutions, with floors, walls and roof made using hemp biomass. Windows will incorporate ClearVue’s core technology, which it previously said is very close to commercialization.
Currently ClearVue’s technology is undergoing Australian Standards (AS) certification testing that will verify the performance of its ClearVue window and curtain wall products. It expects the certification to be completed in the third quarter, allowing it to launch the products at the Australia Window Association’s Fenestration 2018 conference in September.
