Research Frontiers (NASDAQ: REFR) and AIT Group unveiled the Thermolite RetroWAL retrofillable SPD-SmartGlass system, debuting at GlassBuild America Nov 4–6, 2025 in Orlando.

Benefits claimed include up to 20% solar heat gain reduction, UV/IR blocking, noise reduction, instant dimming, and integration with building controls.

Market context: Frost & Sullivan projects a $124B smart glass market by 2028 (CAGR 22.8%). Retrofits may offer up to 70% lower installation cost vs full replacement and could qualify for 30–50% U.S. investment tax credits for dynamic glazing.
