View, Inc. continues its expansion in the aviation sector,\nannouncing that its Smart Windows have been installed at Missoula Montana\nAirport\u2019s (MSO) new South Concourse Terminal expansion project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scheduled to open in early June, the new terminal includes\nfive new gates to accommodate record growth in passengers visiting the region\u2019s\nseven wilderness areas and blue-ribbon trout fishing rivers. View Smart Windows\nare a key component of MSO\u2019s expansion project, which aims to lower the\nairport\u2019s carbon footprint and establish MSO as Montana\u2019s flagship airport. The\nwindows use artificial intelligence to automatically adjust in response to\noutdoor conditions, providing continuous views of the surrounding Missoula\nValley and Northern Rockies while blocking heat and glare to optimize passenger\ncomfort and reduce energy consumption from lighting and HVAC by as much as 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMSO is the gateway to Western Montana, and we wanted the\nnew terminal to showcase the region\u2019s spectacular natural beauty,\u201d said the\nairport\u2019s Deputy Director Tim Damrow. \u201cView Smart Windows help us deliver a\ntruly state-of-the-art facility that is energy-efficient and enclosed in\nfloor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a study<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMSO recognizes that the airports of the future will be\ndesigned to measurably enhance the passenger experience and improve facility\noperations,\u201d said Kristi Crase, Strategy Director, Aviation at View. \u201cAirports\nacross the country are rapidly adopting View\u2019s smart building technology, and\nwe are thrilled to partner with MSO to transform Western Montana\u2019s biggest\nairport into a destination in itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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\u2019Hare 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<\/a> (BZN).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" View, Inc. continues its expansion in the aviation sector, announcing that its Smart Windows have been installed at Missoula Montana Airport\u2019s (MSO) new South Concourse Terminal expansion project.
