Winix Partners with LH to Develop Next-Generation Variable Window Technology

Winix, a company specializing in window solutions, has been chosen to lead a significant research and development initiative under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' '2026 Public-Private Joint Technology Commercialization R&D' program. This selection positions Winix at the forefront of developing advanced window technologies aligned with the government's push towards zero-energy buildings (ZEB).

The project involves a strategic partnership with the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), which will act as an investment partner. Together, Winix and LH will focus on developing a next-generation window system and conducting commercialization research for its application in actual apartment complexes. The collaborative effort is set to span 24 months, commencing in September 2026, with a total project budget of approximately 1.33 billion won.

This public-private R&D initiative is designed to foster win-win cooperation between companies and support technological self-reliance. It specifically targets technologies with demonstrable demand from investing companies, providing support from development through to commercialization. Winix's proposed innovation is a 'high-insulation, high-airtightness next-generation performance variable double-window system.' This technology aims to adjust window performance based on seasonal and external climate variations, thereby boosting the energy efficiency of buildings for heating and cooling.

With the increasing emphasis on zero-energy buildings and carbon neutrality policies, the performance of building envelopes is becoming paramount. Winix plans to leverage the expertise gained from this research to explore broader applications in the residential construction market. The company is also currently participating in ZEB-related R&D projects funded by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, further solidifying its commitment to advancing window technology.

This project participation will be an opportunity to further evolve the window technology research our company has consistently pursued. Through collaboration with LH, we will complete technology applicable to actual apartment buildings and enhance our competitiveness in the domestic zero-energy building market.
