#Solar Lighting System Market Growth

[crapeaucrapeau]

Defunct ME1 Website Codex Entries

In the interest of preserving rare documents related to Mass Effect, I'm transcribing here the Codex entries which were on the ME1 website when the game first came out. They are reproduced here as they form much of the basis by which we understand Mass Effect ; in some cases, they are phrased differently from the Codex in the actual game, with additional information, or contradictions (e.g. the given length of the Krogan Rebellions). Link here : https://web.archive.org/web/20130326112139/http://masseffect.bioware.com/me1/galacticcodex/index.html

Each Codex entry comes in two parts : the "lede" on the starting Codex page, and the entry itself. In an archiving interest, associated polls are included, though they do not represent anything more than the intended market's opinions prior to the game's release. Everything is quoted verbatim, though I have done some formatting modifications for ease of reading.

Note : since this was very much part of the promotion for ME1, the intended audience is clearly human, but it's difficult at times to see if it's an in-universe "we" or an IRL "we". The polls, however, are clearly out-of-universe.

The Advent of Humanity on the Galactic Stage

In the decades since our first encounter with the greater galactic community, humanity has risen quickly to prominence, establishing colonies throughout the stars. However, our population growth and military strength have led to resentful speculation that an invitation to join the ranks of the Council itself is imminent. [Read More]

The Advent of Humanity on the Galactic Stage

In the year 2148, humanity discovered Prothean ruins on Mars. The remnants of Prothean technology scattered amongst these ruins allowed them to develop mass effect fields and faster-than-light travel. This led them to discover and reactivate the mass relay at the edges of Earth's solar system, giving them access to the mass relay network spanning the rest of the galaxy and bringing them into contact with the greater galactic community.

2148 AD : Humanity discovers a small cache of highly advanced alien technology hidden deep beneath the surface of Mars. Building on the remnants of this long extinct race - known as the Protheans - humanity quickly masters the science of mass effect fields, leading to the development of faster than light travel.

2149 AD : Spreading out through their own solar system, humanity discovers that Charon, Pluto's moon, is actually a massive piece of dormant Prothean technology - a mass relay - encased in ice.

Once activated, humanity discovers that the mass relay allows instantaneous travel across thousands of light years to a synchronized mass relay in another part of the galaxy.

There they discover several more dormant relays. Over the next decade humanity expands rapidly, establishing colonies and activating dormant relays to open up more and more unexplored regions of space.

2155 AD : To defend its rapidly expanding empire, humanity assembles a massive fleet and constructs an enormous military space station at the nexus of several key mass relays…even though they have yet to encounter another intelligent space-faring species.

2157 AD : Humanity makes first contact with another space-faring culture: the turians. Unfortunately, the encounter is far from peaceful. Over the next several months a brief but tense conflict known on Earth as the First Contact war ensues.

This conflict draws the attention of the Citadel Council - a multi-species government body that maintains peace and stability throughout the known galaxy. The Council intervenes before hostilities escalate further, revealing the existence of the greater galactic community to humanity and brokering a peace between them and the turians.

2165 AD : Humanity continues to expand, founding more colonies and establishing trade alliances with many of the other species who recognize the authority of the Citadel Council. In 2165 the Council makes official recognition of humanity's growing power and influence in the galactic community. Humanity is granted an embassy on the Citadel, the political and economic heart of the galaxy.

2183 AD : Commander Shepard - a promising young officer in the Human Alliance military - is assigned to the crew of the Normandy, the most advanced prototype vessel ever designed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turians: Friend or Foe?

We fought these raptor-like aliens in the First Contact War, but have since settled into an uneasy co-existence with them. Despite their code of honour, discipline, and work ethic, the question remains whether these Council members are friends or foes. [Read codex entry]

Citadel Council Race: Turians

The turians were the last of the Citadel races to join the Council. Their features are avian, making them resemble humanoid birds or raptors. They have a reputation for skill and bravery in combat, but they are not known to be bloodthirsty. A rigid code of honor and strict discipline are the hallmarks of any turian officer. This includes humane treatment of prisoners and conquered enemies. A turian patrol unit will never willingly leave behind one of their own, no matter what the cost of saving them.

Turian society is highly regimented and very organized, and the species is known for its strict discipline and work ethic. Turians are willing to do what needs to be done, and they always follow through. They are not easily spurred to violence, but when conflict is inevitable, they only understand a concept of "total war." They do not believe in skirmishes or small scale battles; they use massive fleets and numbers to defeat an adversary so completely that they remove any threat of having to fight the same opponent more than once. They do not exterminate their enemy, but so completely devastate their military that the enemy has no choice but to become a colony of the turians.

Other species see them as "men of action," and they are generally regarded as the most progressive of the Citadel races. Since their culture is based on the structure of a military hierarchy, changes and advances accepted by the leadership are quickly adopted by the rest of society with minimal resistance.

WEB POLL : Turians are an honourable and disciplined race. Why do you think humanity warred with them immediately after first contact in the year 2157?

There was a misunderstanding that blew out of proportion - 64%

They feared our potential and saw us as competitors - 23%

They probably always attack first to probe for weaknesses - 11%

They wanted the planet Earth and our colonies for themselves - 3%

Spotlight on the Krogan Race

Explore the reptilian race known as the Krogan. Part one reveals how their harsh and unforgiving homeworld has affected their evolution. Part two delves into their tragic history and waning foothold in the galaxy. The final part spotlights Urdnot Wrex, one of the last krogan Battle Masters. [Read more]

Krogan Series Part 1 - Krogan Biology

The krogan are a species of large reptilian bipeds native to the planet Tuchanka, a world known for its harsh environments, scarce resources, and overabundance of vicious predators. The krogan managed to not only survive on their unforgiving homeworld, but actually thrived in the extreme conditions. Unfortunately, as krogan society became more technologically advanced so did their weaponry.

Four thousand years ago, at the dawn of the krogan nuclear age, battles to claim the small pockets of territory capable of sustaining life escalated into full scale global war. Weapons of mass destruction were unleashed, transforming Tuchanka into a radioactive wasteland.

Due to the brutality of their surroundings, natural selection has played a significant role in the evolution of the species. Krogan reproduce and mature at an astonishing rate. Their large shoulder humps store fluids and nutrients, enabling them to survive extended periods without food or water. Their thick hides are virtually impervious to cuts, scrapes or contusions, and they are highly resistant to toxins, radiation, and extreme heat and cold.

Biotic individuals are rare, though those who do possess the talent typically have strong abilities. Their most amazing physiological features are the multiple instances of major organs; these secondary systems are capable of serving as back-ups in the event of damage to the primary biological structures. This redundancy makes them difficult to kill or incapacitate in normal combat scenarios.

Krogan Series Part 2 - Rise and Fall of the Krogan

Roughly 2000 years ago the krogan were a primitive tribal species trapped on a world suffering through a nuclear winter of their own making. They were liberated by the salarians, who "culturally uplifted" the krogan by giving them advanced technology and relocating them to a planet not cursed with lethal levels of radiation, toxins, or deadly predators.

But the salarian intervention was not without an ulterior motive. At the time, the Citadel was engaged in a prolonged galactic war with the rachni, a race of intelligent space-faring insects. The salarians hoped the krogan would join the Citadel forces as soldiers to stand against an otherwise unstoppable foe. The plan worked to perfection: within two generations the rapidly breeding krogan had the numbers to not only drive the advancing rachni back, but pursue them to their home worlds and eradicate the entire species.

Saviors of the Galaxy

For a brief period the krogan were hailed as the saviors of the galaxy. However, without the harsh conditions of Tuchanka to keep their numbers in check, their population exploded. Overcrowded and running out of resources on their new home planet, the krogan spread out to forcibly claim other worlds...worlds already inhabited by races loyal to the Citadel.

The so-called Krogan Rebellions continued for nearly three centuries. The krogan sustained massive casualties, but their incredible birth-rate kept their population steadily increasing. Victory seemed inevitable. In desperation, the Council turned to the recently discovered Turian Empire for aid. The turians unleashed the genophage on the krogan home worlds: a terrifying bio-weapon engineered by the salarians. The genophage caused near total infant mortality in the krogan species, with only 1 birth in every 1000 producing live offspring.

The Genophage

No longer able to replenish their numbers, the krogan were forced to accept the turian terms of surrender. For their role in quelling the Krogan Rebellions the turians were rewarded with a seat on the Citadel Council. The krogan, on the other hand, still suffer from the incurable effects of the genophage. Over the last millennium krogan numbers have steadily declined, leaving them a scattered and dying people. Faced with the certainty of their extinction as a species, most krogan have become individualistic and completely self-interested. They typically serve as mercenaries for hire to the highest bidder, though many still resent and despise the Citadel races who condemned them to their tragic fate.

WEB POLL : Was use of the genophage on the krogan justified?

Yes, it was necessary to stop the krogan from taking over the galaxy - 53%

The Quarians - Galactic Nomads

Some believe quarians are a cybernetic blend that can survive for a time in the cold vacuum of space. Others believe they are so used to living on their makeshift ships they never remove their survival suits. Most condemn them for unleashing a dangerous, synthetic life form on the galaxy. [Read more]

The Quarians - Galactic Nomads

A nomadic race of humanoid aliens, the quarians are generally shorter and of slighter build than humans. They dress in a scavenged assortment of materials, hiding their faces behind visors, goggles, or breathing masks. Some believe the quarians are cybernetic, a blend of machine and biology that can survive for a time in the cold vacuum of space. Others believe the quarians are simply so used to living on their substandard, makeshift ships that they never remove their survival suits.

Three hundred years ago the quarians created the geth, a species of rudimentary AIs, to serve as an efficient source of manual labor. But the geth rebelled against their quarian masters and drove them into exile. Now the quarians wander the galaxy in a flotilla of salvaged ships, secondhand vessels, and recycled technology. Other species tend to look down on the quarians, seeing them as scavengers and condemning them for unleashing a dangerous synthetic life form on the rest of the galaxy.

Geth: Universally Violent Creatures

Residing in the Terminus Systems, the geth are a humanoid race of networked AIs who overthrew their masters 300 years ago in a brutal war. They have evolved since then into numerous sub-forms, and everyone in the galaxy approaches them with extreme caution. [Read more]

Hostile Entity: the Geth

The geth are a bi-pedal, humanoid race of networked AIs that resides in the Terminus Systems. The geth were created nearly 300 years ago by the quarians as laborers and tools of war. When the geth began to question their masters, the quarians attempted to exterminate them. The geth won the resulting war. The example of the geth has led to legal, systematic repression of artificial intelligences in galactic society.

The geth can learn and grow intellectually, but they progress far more slowly than an organic being. Still, the story of the geth's creation and evolution serves as a warning to the rest of the galaxy of the potential dangers of Artificial Intelligence.

The closer geth physically are to each other, the more intelligent each one becomes. Effectively, they "share" brain power. An individual geth has only a basic intelligence on par with animal instincts, but in groups they can reason, analyze situations, and use tactics as well as any of the organic races.

Over time the geth have evolved into numerous sub-forms - from the diminutive but highly agile hoppers, to the gigantic, lumbering geth armatures. It should be stressed, however, that in all forms the geth are to be approached with extreme caution as they are universally violent creatures.

The Batarians, From Bring Down the Sky

Debuting in the Bring Down the Sky downloable content pack, the batarians are a disreputable species infesting the Terminus Systems and menacing human colonies. [Read more]

The Batarians - A New Race in Bring Down the Sky

A race of four-eyed bipeds, the batarians are a disreputable species that chose to isolate itself from the rest of the galaxy. The Terminus Systems are infested with batarian pirate gangs and slaving rings, fueling the stereotype of the batarian thug. It should be noted that these criminals do not represent average citizens, who are forbidden to leave batarian space by their omnipresent and paranoid government.

In 2171, humans began to colonize the Skyllian Verge, a region the batarians were already actively settling. The batarians asked the Citadel Council to intervene and declare the Verge an area of "batarian interest." When the Council refused, the batarians severed diplomatic and economic relations, becoming an inward-looking rogue state. Money and weapons funneled from the batarian government to criminal organizations led to many brutal raids on human colonies in the Verge, culminating in the Skyllian Blitz of 2176.

The rest of the galaxy views the batarians as an ignorable problem. The government is still hostile to the Systems Alliance, but beneath the notice of the powerful Council races. It is not known what the average batarian thinks about their enforced isolation, as the Department of Information Control ensures that only government-approved news enters or leaves batarian space.

CHARACTERS

Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams

Williams is a reliable and dedicated officer, but her aggressive instincts and blunt speech might lead to complications should she be required to interact with civilians. [Read more]

Systems Alliance Profile: Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams

Personnel File

Name: Ashley Madeline Williams Rank: Gunnery Chief Military Vocational Code: B4 Current Posting: 2nd Frontier Division, Eden Prime

Date of Birth: April 14, 2158 Place of Birth: Vercingetorix Outpost, Planet Sirona, 61 Ursae Majoris System Blood Type: B-positive

Genetic Enhancements:

In-utero vision correction (maternal predisposition for nearsightedness)

Class-B Alliance Infantry Upgrade Package

Dossier

Following family tradition, Chief Williams enlisted in the Alliance Marines directly out of high school and was assigned to the Recruit Training Depot in Macapá, Brazil.

During training, she certified proficient with the standard-issue M7 Lancer assault rifle and light and standard weight combat hardsuits. She completed certification in zero-gee combat aboard the Rakesh Sharma Orbital Platform in Earth geosynchronous orbit. For Hostile Environment Assault Training, she was assigned to Fort Charles Upham on Saturn's moon, Titan. She was awarded a commendation for her bold assault technique in a field exercise simulating an attack on turian point defense emplacements.

Drill Instructor Gunnery Chief Ellison noted her steadfast endurance and aggressive instincts, and promoted her to the role of squad leader. After observing her effective tutelage of the less skilled members of her training unit, he promoted her to platoon guide. She maintains a friendly correspondence with DI Ellison.

Chief Williams has served in a number of ground force garrisons on Alliance colony worlds and industrial outposts. She has repeatedly requested transfer to a shipboard posting, but each request has been denied without comment by her superiors.

Every year since enlistment, she has used her mandatory week of leave to visit her family on Amaterasu. In 2181, she made an exceptional request for a week-long leave of absence from her posting at the Czarnobóg Fleet Depot, citing family issues.

Personal Observations

Chief Williams' platoon has logged unanimous positive feedback on her leadership in the recent fitness review cycle. Private Nirali Bahtia praised her focus on team-building exercises and "tough but fair" discipline.

Williams is a reliable and dedicated noncommissioned officer, but her service in rear-area garrisons has prevented her from gaining actual combat experience. Her aggressive instincts and tendency to speak bluntly are suitable for a field unit, but might lead to complications if her duties require her to interact with civilians. Additionally, her political opinions may be problematic, given the focus on improving relations with the Citadel.

Systems Alliance Profile: Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams - Profile Updated

From: Ashley Williams (ashley.m.williams@edenprime.mil.sa) Sent: June 17, 2183 22:03 UT To: Sarah Williams (randori-girl@ward37.amaterasu.civ.pub) Subject: Re: Hey sis

James left today. He's been reassigned to one of the new Rapid Response Bases out in the Kepler Verge. Lucky bastard. It's like the ancient west out there – pirates and slavers coming out of the Terminus Systems all the time. He gets to play the cavalry, riding out in frigates any time someone's house gets burned down.

I made some speech about how he was a valuable asset to the squad and he better make us look good out there, blah blah. I suck at speeches. I was cribbing from something I read back in history class. I don't think anyone noticed.

I'm going to miss him. Don't tell anyone.

So you think James is cute, eh? Yeah, well, when you said I should "go for him" – not gonna happen, kiddo. See, we have rules about "fraternization." You don't do The Deed with your fellow troops, especially if they're under you in rank. There's all sorts of problems that can happen when two people in the same unit get together.

Let's say your unit is in a tight spot. Some bug-eyed aliens are going to overrun the galaxy. They eat babies, smell bad, and don't have elbows. Nasty. You're told to guard the rear. To let everyone else escape, someone is ordered "hold this spot until we're gone." Someone has to be left behind. You think it's going to be someone you're sleeping with?

I've served with these guys for eight months now. Yeah, some of them make me feel tingly (and yeah, James was kinda scruffy-cute). I hope I never have to decide who lives and who dies. But if I have to, my decision can't be muddled up by magic-sparkly-hearts-and-stars feelings.

Anyways, I'm gonna knock off here. I've got dog watch in a few hours. Want to get a shower and a meal before then. Talk at you tomorrow.

Agent Profile: Nihlus Kryik

Nihlus Kryik is one of the Citadel Council's most decorated Spectre agents. Cool under pressure, he has an uncanny ability to find an enemy's weakness and exploit it. [Continue]

Spectre Agent Nihlus Kryik

Nihlus Kryik is one of the Citadel Council's most decorated Spectre agents. Born in a small mercenary outpost outside Hierarchy space, he learned the hard way to fight for what he wanted. His father died when he was 16, and his mother forced him to join the turian military. His outsider status made life difficult; though he was always at the top of his class, his superiors and peers never truly accepted him.

As a soldier, Nihlus' skills were unquestionable. His attitude, however, often got him in trouble. On several occasions, he disobeyed direct orders to do what he thought was best. Although his instincts were usually proven right, his notoriety grew. Even when he single-handedly routed an enemy patrol, and saved his squad from ambush, his commanding officers berated him for his recklessness. His military career seemed to stall before it even began.

After being reassigned to a new squad for the third time, Nihlus was introduced to Saren Arterius, a fellow turian and a Spectre. Saren was impressed with the young soldier. He befriended Nihlus and offered to mentor him. Within a year of meeting Saren, Nihlus was asked to join the Spectres.

Free from the restrictions of military procedure, Nihlus excelled in his new role. He quickly stepped from his mentor's shadow and established himself as one of the Council's top agents. Since then, Nihlus has completed countless missions as a Spectre, each one more difficult and dangerous than the last.

Cool under pressure, Nihlus has an uncanny ability to find an enemy's weakness and exploit it. Though his methods aren't as brutal as Saren's, he will not hesitate to efficiently and thoroughly eradicate anything or anyone that stands in his way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agent Profile: Saren Arterius

Saren Arterius is the longest serving turian member of the Spectres. Recently, he has become an outspoken opponent of human expansion in the galaxy, and many fear he may soon decide to take matters into his own hands.

Agent Profile - Saren Arterius

Saren Arterius is the longest serving turian member of the Spectres - the elite military operatives answering directly to the Citadel Council. For 24 years he has been an agent of the Council's will, a zealous defender of galactic stability in the unsettled border region of the Skyllian Verge.

Official records of Spectres are sealed, but it is known that Saren followed turian tradition and entered the military at the age of 15. In 2155 he was promoted to active service after only a year of training, though it is unclear whether his unit was involved in any of the battles against human forces during the First Contact War of 2157.

In 2159 he became the youngest turian ever accepted into the Spectres. Intelligent, cunning and capable, Saren quickly developed a reputation for ruthless efficiency. Although there were a number of unsettling rumors about the brutality of his methods, there was no denying his results.

In recent years Saren has become an outspoken opponent of human expansion. Like many other non-humans, he believes the Alliance has become overly aggressive in its efforts to establish the people of Earth as a dominant species in Citadel space. As a Spectre it is generally believed he will continue to follow the will of the Council in this matter, but there are some - particularly among the Alliance - who fear Saren may soon decide to take matters into his own hands.

Krogan Series Part 3: Wrex, Krogan Battle Master

Urdnot Wrex is one of the last krogan Battle Masters: rare individuals who combine powerful biotic abilities with the devastating firepower of advanced weaponry. Born into clan Urdnot, he quickly gained fame for his prowess in battle. He became a leader of one of the smaller Urdnot tribes while still a youth - the youngest krogan to be granted the honor in 1000 years…until he was betrayed by his own people.

The betrayal opened Wrex's eyes to the truth about the krogan: most would rather die in battle than try to rebuild their society through peaceful means. Realizing the warrior culture that once valued courage, strength, and honor had been reduced to glorifying pointless violence, Wrex turned his back on the rest of the krogan.

Over the past three centuries he has served no master but himself, working as a bodyguard, mercenary, soldier of fortune, and bounty hunter; there is little in the galaxy that can still surprise him. He doesn't speak often, but when he does his words are direct and often shockingly blunt - and people tend to listen.

Despite his brutish appearance, Wrex rarely loses his temper. The mere threat of his anger is usually enough to get what he wants. When his fury is unleashed, however, it is a truly terrifying sight.

TECHNOLOGY

M35 Mako

The Mako is a light infantry fighting vehicle you'll get to use when exploring planetary environments. Equipped with laser-guided ordnance, micro- thrusters, and laser detection arrays, it's an essential tool to have in your arsenal. [Read more]

Technology : M35 Mako

For 20 years, the standard "battle taxi" of the Systems Alliance Marines was the M29 "Grizzly" Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). While excellent in long-term planetary campaigns, the Grizzly's bulk and weight made it unsuitable for rapid deployment across the Alliance's expanding sphere of influence. To fill this increasingly important role, the M35 "Mako" IFV was designed to fit in the small cargo bays of Alliance scouting frigates. The M35's small size and low weight allow it to be easily deployed to virtually any world.

Since Alliance marines may be required to fight in a variety of planetary environments, the Mako is environmentally sealed and powered by a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell. For deployment on low-gravity planetoids, it is equipped with micro-thrusters and a small element zero core, which can be used to increase mass and provide greater traction.

The "eezo" core can also be used to reduce mass, allowing the Mako to be safely air-dropped. This allows frigates to deploy their shore parties while limiting the ship's exposure to defensive anti-aircraft artillery. When used in conjunction with thrusters, mass reduction allows the Mako to extricate itself from difficult terrain.

The Mako's hull is covered with laser detection arrays, which forewarn the crew of enemy laser-guided ordnance. Ground-penetrating radar allows detection of anti-vehicle mines and other subsurface anomalies. These will be brought to the attention of the crew by the vehicle's micro-frame computer system.

Several combat support vehicles using the Mako's basic chassis are manufactured for Alliance surface garrisons. These include a recon drone controller, a mobile air defense platform, and the M38 military ambulance nicknamed "Moby" because it is painted white during peacekeeping operations. Shipboard Marines exclusively use the tactically flexible and heavily armed base model.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normandy

Optimized for solo reconnaissance missions deep within unstable regions, and using state-of-the-art stealth technology, the Normandy is a prototype deep scout frigate. [Read more]

Technology : Normandy

Frigates are swift, flexible warships. Unlike larger vessels, they are able to land on planets. Although lightly armed, Alliance frigates usually carry a squad of marines for security and groundside duty.

The most important role filled by frigates is scouting and reconnaissance. Thanks to mass effect technology, ships and communications can travel faster than the speed of light. Sensors, however, are limited to the speed of light. If an enemy ship is a light year away, a stationary observer will only be able to see it when its light arrives in a year.

An attacker will always gain surprise against a defender; attacking ships moving faster than light will arrive long before their light speed-limited sensor data does. For defense, fleets are surrounded by spheres of scouting frigates. These vessels detect enemy ships passing by them, and transmit warnings to the main body. The Normandy is a prototype "deep scout" frigate, developed by the Systems Alliance with the assistance of the Citadel Council. It is optimized for solo reconnaissance missions deep within unstable regions, using state-of-the-art stealth technology.

For centuries, it was assumed that starship stealth was impossible. The heat generated by routine shipboard operations is easily detectable against the absolute-zero background temperature of space. The Normandy, however, is able to temporarily "store" this heat in lithium heat sinks deep within the hull. Combined with refrigeration of the exterior hull, the ship can travel undetected for hours, or drift passively for days of covert observation. This is not without risk. The stored heat must eventually be radiated, or it will build up to levels capable of cooking the crew alive.

Another component of the stealth system is the Normandy’s revolutionary Tantalus drive, a mass effect core twice the standard size. The Tantalus drive generates mass concentrations that the Normandy "falls into", allowing it to move without the use of heat-emitting thrusters. The heat sink and Tantalus drive systems allow the Normandy to loiter undetected in an enemy system to monitor traffic, or drop infiltration teams on enemy worlds. Should the Normandy’s design prove useful in field tests, it is expected that a follow-up class incorporating "lessons learned" will be produced.

Ductile oligomeric acceptor enables highly efficient and mechanically robust flexible organic solar cells

A research group led by Prof. Ge Ziyi at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has incorporated a ductile oligomeric acceptor (DOA) into the polymer donors and small molecule acceptors (PD:SMA) system, achieving flexible organic solar cells (OSCs) with high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and mechanical robustness. The study was published in Advanced Materials. Due to the advantages of light weight, flexibility, and processability, OSCs have been recognized as ideal candidates for flexible power sources. With the growth of the emerging market of wearable electronic devices, high PCE and mechanical robustness have shown their importance in the development of wearable applications of OSCs. However, compared with rigid OSCs, flexible OSCs exhibit relatively low PCEs (≈17%) and poor mechanical robustness. To address this issue, the researchers proposed a novel strategy that incorporates a DOA as a third component into the PD:SMA blend system of OSCs. Three DOAs, i.e., DOY-C2, DOY-C4, and TOY-C4, were synthesized with different flexible bridging chain segments and molecular chain lengths.

As per their “UAE Architectural Glass Market” report, the market was valued at USD Million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of about 5.3% during the forecast period from 2025 - 2033 to reach USD  Million by 2033.

The UAE architectural glass market is associated with the manufacturing, processing, and application of flat glass products for building facades, windows, partitions, and other architectural construction elements. Other key drivers are speedy urbanization, aggressive infrastructure projects, and a high priority on sustainability and energy efficiency of buildings. Governmental drives such as the UAE Green Agenda 2030 and Net Zero 2050 are still driving the demand for cutting-edge glazing solutions. UAE, with its high-rise buildings, commercial complexes, and residential developments, is in an evolution phase, and with it, the market for architectural glass promises a significant increase.

The Growing Demand for UAE Architectural Glass

The leading demand for architectural glass in the UAE is driven by the fast urbanization in the country, extra-large-scale infrastructural development, and the keenness to embrace sustainable construction in the country. With the iconic projects such as the Dubai Creek Tower, Museum of the Future, and mixed-use skyscrapers, the demand for modern glass solutions that would incorporate energy efficiency, visual interest, and strength is growing in proportion. In addition, initiatives by the government, like UAE Vision 2031 and Net Zero 2050, are driving the developers towards the application of green materials, thereby making high-performance architectural glass a vital part of contemporary construction. This increased demand cuts across new developments as well as renovation of the existing structures, confirming the significance of architectural glass in the UAE’s ever-changing skyline.

Latest Trends in the UAE Architectural Glass Market

The UAE Architectural Glass market is witnessing several emerging trends. Here are some of the key trends shaping the market:

Surge in Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Glass Solutions

Influenced by the national drive for sustainability, supported by its pivotal entities such as the UAE Green Agenda 2030 and Net Zero by 2050, the glass market in the United Arab Emirates is more and more following this trend. These measures are also driving the demand for eco-friendly building materials, particularly energy-efficient glazing systems, such as insulated glass units (IGUs) and low-E coatings. Thermal insulation, UV protection, and solar control functions in glass products are now being given preference by developers to meet energy efficiency ratings and compliance with regulations. The UAE’s market for recycled glass has tremendous room for growth, with more than US$ $30 billion of existing and planned green infrastructure projects. Double and triple-glazed glass has also been retrofitted in old buildings, and this is a trend being embraced especially in the commercial and hospitality sectors because owners of property want to reduce operational costs and carbon footprint.

Adoption of Smart Glass Technologies

There has been an increasing rate of adoption of smart glass technology in the UAE, particularly in premium commercial spaces, luxurious homes, and government projects that encourage innovation. The smart type of glass (especially electrochromic and thermochromic) permits automatic regulation of light and heat transfer about local conditions (or user input) instead of using artificial light and cooling systems, to drastically lessen the use of such. The technology is a perfect fit for the area’s climatic conditions and sustainability aspirations. Driven by its implementation in smart cities such as Dubai Smart City and Masdar City, the smart architectural glass adoption in the Middle East is expected to grow in double digits every year. Besides, there are international glass behemoths such as Guardian Glass and Saint-Gobain, currently investing in smart glass R&D and grassroots production capacities, with an interest in capturing this growing demand.

Expansion of Glass Curtain Wall Systems

The increased appearance of futuristic skylines and mega-urban developments in the UAE is stimulating the demand for glass curtain wall systems, both in terms of their aesthetic value and energy performance. Curtain walls are now being applied to high-rise towers, shopping malls, and government buildings, because they can carry large spans of glass with minimal and sometimes no compromise on the structure. The market for the glass curtain wall in the UAE is also on a constant increase as demand for double skin façades and dynamic glass façades that change the color of glass according to climate conditions increases. Examples of such projects include Dubai Creek Tower, One Za’abeel, and Abu Dhabi’s Midfield Terminal, where the use of curtain wall systems is used on a very large scale as a trademark design. The segment’s appeal is further fueled by innovations in anchoring systems, unitized modules, and enhancements in the level of safety.

Technological Advancements in Glass Manufacturing

The UAE architectural glass industry is warmly welcoming new technologies in a bid to enhance its production processes in terms of efficacy, customization, and sustainability. New things are laser glass cutting, automatic handling equipment in the use of robots, and an optical sorting machine used in the automated division of glass waste. These innovations are enhancing the material output significantly, reducing the usage of energy considerably, and providing mass customization for types of glass, including frosted, laminated, as well as solar control versions. Local companies like Emirates Glass LLC and Sejal Glass UAE have invested so much into the European machines and are going digital in their fabrication lines to be able to bring the highest international standards and large-scale projects. Such advancements in technology not only make the UAE a hub of manufacturing in the region, but also strip off the dependency on importing glass.

Strategic Investments and Market Consolidation

New acquisitions and capacity increases are rearranging the UAE architectural glass industry, bringing it into a phase of consolidation and dominance within the region. One of the significant events happened on the 24th of May, 2023, when Sejal Glass Limited, the Indian major player, acquired a 99.01 % stake in a UAE entity – Sejal Glass & Glass Manufacturing Products LLC. This purchase turned it into the largest architectural glass manufacturing facility within the UAE, which covers 20 acres, exceeding 225,000 sq. ft of built-up area and is capable of supplying the UAE, GCC, and African markets. The plant has high-tech European equipment and employs 250+ employees, thus demonstrating the scale and sophistication of recent investments. In addition, domestic and foreign capital is pouring into niche markets such as smart glass and fire-resistant glazing, providing a window of opportunity for innovation-based startups in addition to diversifying existing manufacturing platforms in the UAE. These investments point to high confidence in future growth in markets, buoyed by the infrastructure pipeline of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

A Clear Outlook for Sustainable and Innovative Growth

Finally, the UAE architectural glass market is on a solid growth path through the combination of an energetic trinity of mega infrastructure, sustainability requirements, and architectural trends. Quality energy-efficient and green construction by the government and high urbanization rate of cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi also translate to increased demand for high-performance and high-tech glass solutions. The market is also experiencing large-scale consolidation and foreign investments, which make the UAE a regional base for glass production and innovation. With the smart glass, recycled materials, and curtain wall systems picking up as trends, stakeholders along the value chain stand ready to enjoy the future of sustainable, intelligent, and outlandish-looking constructions.

This has led to a surge in demand for Customized Lights in Bangalore, where designers and homeowners collaborate to create lighting that is functional, stylish, and tailored to specific needs. Whether it’s a contemporary living room, a cozy bedroom, or a commercial display setup, personalized lighting adds character and sophistication to any space.

5. Integration with Smart Home Systems

Smart lighting easily integrates with home automation systems such as Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. This allows users to:

The Elegance of Smart-Tech Independent Floors and Premium Apartments in Gurgaon: A Modern Investment Opportunity

Gurgaon, a vibrant city near Delhi, is a hotspot for real estate investors. In 2025, two standout trends are independent floors in Gurgaon and premium apartments in Gurgaon, including the highly desirable luxury apartments in Gurgaon. These properties are infused with smart technology, offering automated systems, energy-efficient designs, and connected living spaces that create a modern and convenient lifestyle. They attract buyers who value innovation, comfort, and upscale living. This article explains why smart-tech independent floors and premium apartments are smart investments, what makes them special, and how you can invest in these cutting-edge trends in Gurgaon’s thriving market.

What Are Smart-Tech Independent Floors and Premium Apartments?

Independent floors in Gurgaon are single-level homes on separate floors of low-rise buildings, typically 3-4 stories, each with a private entrance, offering the privacy of a standalone house. Smart-tech independent floors enhance this with features like voice-controlled lighting, automated climate systems, and smart security cameras. In areas like Sector 70 or along Southern Peripheral Road, these floors offer spacious layouts, private smart terraces, and app-controlled appliances, creating a tech-savvy living experience.

Premium apartments in Gurgaon, including luxury apartments in Gurgaon, are high-end units in mid- to high-rise towers with top-tier amenities like smart community hubs, AI-driven concierge services, and rooftop solar panels. Luxury apartments elevate the experience with features like touchless entry systems, smart home automation, and private balconies with integrated sensors. Projects in areas like Golf Course Road or Sector 65 offer premium and luxury apartments with smart gyms, connected lounges, and energy-efficient designs that blend technology with elegance.

Both property types cater to tech-forward lifestyles: independent floors provide private, automated spaces, while premium and luxury apartments offer community-driven smart amenities in a resort-like setting.

Why Smart-Tech Independent Floors and Premium Apartments Are Great Investments

Gurgaon’s real estate market is soaring, with luxury apartments in Gurgaon accounting for 98% of home sales in 2024, up from 94% in 2023, according to a Cushman & Wakefield report. Smart-tech independent floors and premium apartments are top picks for investors due to their high demand and innovative appeal. Here’s why they’re smart choices for buying property in Gurgaon:

High Rent Returns: Smart-tech independent floors attract families and tech professionals, fetching ₹6.8 lakh to ₹9.3 lakh per month, offering 13.6% to 15.8% annual returns. Premium and luxury apartments draw tech enthusiasts and NRIs, with rents of ₹7.9 lakh to ₹10.5 lakh per month, yielding 14.1% to 16.5% returns.

Big Price Growth: Independent floors in Gurgaon have risen 103% to 109% in price in 2024, with Sector 70 units now at ₹4.75 lakh to ₹5.25 lakh per square foot, up from ₹4.1 lakh in 2023. Premium and luxury apartments in Gurgaon have surged 108% to 114%, with Golf Course Road units at ₹5.15 lakh to ₹5.65 lakh per square foot, up from ₹4.4 lakh.

Strong Demand: The smart-tech features ensure 99% of these properties are rented or sold quickly, as buyers seek innovative homes.

Modern Lifestyle: Both align with Gurgaon’s growing tech-driven culture, boosting their resale value.

City Growth: Gurgaon’s new tech hubs, smart city projects, and Metro expansion planned for 2026 enhance the appeal of these properties.

In January 2022, a builder in Sector 70 launched 49 smart-tech independent floors priced between ₹8.8 crore and ₹10 crore, selling out in two days and earning ₹1,050 crore. In March 2022, a Golf Course Road project sold 88 luxury apartments priced at ₹11.6 crore to ₹12 crore, earning ₹1,310 crore, highlighting their immense popularity.

How to Invest in Smart-Tech Independent Floors and Premium Apartments

Buying smart-tech independent floors or premium apartments in Gurgaon requires planning, but it’s an exciting opportunity. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get started:

Step 1: Choose the Right Area

For independent floors in Gurgaon, target Sector 70, Southern Peripheral Road, or Sector 106, which offer low-rise projects with smart-tech features and proximity to tech hubs. For premium and luxury apartments in Gurgaon, focus on Golf Course Road, Sector 65, or Sector 87, known for high-rise towers with smart amenities and great connectivity.

Step 2: Pick a Trusted Builder

Select builders with a strong history of delivering smart-tech independent floors or premium apartments. Review their past projects to confirm they provide promised features, like voice-controlled systems for floors or AI-driven concierge services for apartments, ensuring your investment is secure.

Step 3: Check for Key Features

For smart-tech independent floors, look for:

Tech Design: Voice-controlled lighting or automated climate systems, common in Sector 70 projects.

Smart Spaces: Private smart terraces or app-controlled appliances, found in many independent floors in Gurgaon.

Innovation: Smart security cameras or energy-efficient designs, offered in newer projects.

For premium and luxury apartments, look for:

Smart Amenities: Smart community hubs or AI-driven concierge services, standard in luxury apartments in Gurgaon.

Luxury Finishes: Touchless entry systems or smart home automation, common in Golf Course Road projects.

Modern Features: Smart gyms or connected lounges, available in high-rise towers.

Step 4: Plan Your Finances

Independent floors cost ₹8.8 crore to ₹10 crore, while premium and luxury apartments range from ₹11.6 crore to ₹12 crore. Save 15-20% for a down payment and secure a home loan at 8% to 10% interest. Budget ₹2,000 to ₹4,500 monthly for maintenance, like updating smart systems or maintaining tech amenities.

Step 5: Rent or Sell Smartly

Rent independent floors to families or tech professionals for ₹6.8 lakh to ₹9.3 lakh per month, targeting areas like Southern Peripheral Road. Rent premium apartments to high-profile tenants, like tech entrepreneurs or corporate executives, for ₹7.9 lakh to ₹10.5 lakh, focusing on Golf Course Road. Alternatively, hold the property for 5-7 years and sell for 25-35% more. For example, Sector 70 floors bought at ₹4.1 lakh per square foot in 2023 are now ₹4.75 lakh, and Golf Course Road apartments rose from ₹4.4 lakh to ₹5.15 lakh.

Step 6: Keep the Property in Top Shape

Spend ₹3,500 to ₹7,500 yearly on maintenance, like updating smart security systems for floors or servicing AI-driven amenities for apartments. Keeping the property tech-forward and modern attracts renters and boosts resale value.

Success Stories from Investors

In Sector 70, Anil, a 91-year-old investor, bought an 8,100-square-foot smart-tech independent floor for ₹6.8 crore in 2023. He rents it for ₹8.1 lakh per month, earning a 14.3% return yearly, and its value is now ₹12.8 crore, up 88%. “The smart features are a big hit with renters,” he says.

On Golf Course Road, Priya, an NRI, spent ₹14 crore on a luxury apartment in Gurgaon with smart home automation in 2024. She earns ₹10.1 lakh monthly rent and plans to sell for ₹18 crore in five years, loving the “modern, upscale vibe” of these apartments.

Benefits Beyond Money

Investing in smart-tech independent floors or premium apartments in Gurgaon offers more than financial gains:

Unique Appeal: Independent floors offer private, automated spaces, while luxury apartments provide tech-driven amenities, ensuring high occupancy.

Happy Renters: Smart-tech floors and upscale apartments in Gurgaon encourage longer tenant stays.

Stands Out: The tech exclusivity makes these properties attractive to buyers when selling.

Matches Gurgaon’s Vibe: With 490 new tech hubs and innovation events in 2024, these homes fit Gurgaon’s tech-savvy, upscale lifestyle.

Challenges and How to Handle Them

These properties come with a few challenges, but they’re manageable:

High Price: Independent floors start at ₹8.8 crore, and luxury apartments at ₹11.6 crore. Solution: Explore smaller floors in Sector 107 for ₹5.7 crore or mid-range premium apartments in Sector 93 for ₹6.7 crore, or co-invest with others.

Upkeep Costs: Smart-tech maintenance costs ₹1,500-₹2,500 yearly. Solution: Save 1% of the property’s value for upkeep or hire local tech maintenance firms.

Specific Renters: Floors appeal to families, while apartments suit professionals. Solution: Advertise to targeted groups on sites like Magicbricks.com.

Market Changes: Prices can fluctuate. Solution: Buy in stable areas like Golf Course Road to minimize risks.

What’s Happening in Gurgaon Right Now

In February 2022, a builder announced that 99% of their new projects in Gurgaon will include smart-tech independent floors or premium apartments, as demand grew by 150%. The Sector 70 project, launched in January 2022, earned ₹1,050 crore from 49 independent floors, and a March 2022 Golf Course Road project earned ₹1,310 crore from 88 luxury apartments, showing their strong demand.

In March 2022, Haryana’s government offered tax breaks for homes with innovative or tech-focused features. Investors should check if their properties qualify for these savings.

People on X are buzzing about independent floors in Gurgaon and luxury apartments, with many saying builders are “creating homes for the future.” Some express concerns about high costs, but most view these properties as ideal for buyers seeking innovation and luxury, making them excellent investments.

What’s Next for Smart-Tech Independent Floors and Premium Apartments

Gurgaon’s luxury home market, worth ₹11,300 crore in 2025, is growing 117% yearly, outpacing Delhi. Top projects, especially in Sector 70 and Golf Course Road, are expected to rise in value by 101-107% yearly due to their smart-tech features. Luxury apartments in Gurgaon and independent floors will continue attracting affluent buyers, with builders planning 4,800 more units by 2027.

Gurgaon’s tech scene is thriving, with a major tech and real estate expo in August 2022, expecting 860,000 visitors. This aligns with the rise of smart-tech independent floors and premium apartments, as people want homes that embrace innovation and luxury.

Modern Residential Construction Services That Add Value to Your Property 

Residential construction services are undergoing a revolution—one driven by technology, sustainability, and rising expectations from homeowners and investors alike. In rapidly expanding metros like Bangalore, modern homebuilding is no longer about speed alone but about delivering lasting value, design intelligence, and future-ready features. 

Today's homebuyers don’t just want a house—they want a lifestyle upgrade. And that starts with the right construction approach. With real estate prices hitting new highs and customer demands becoming more refined, quality construction has taken center stage. Whether you're constructing your dream residence or developing a high-value property, working with a company that specializes in modern, efficient practices is now essential. 

Residential Construction Services in Today’s Homebuilding Landscape 

Modern residential construction services have expanded beyond traditional brick-and-mortar projects. Builders today are embracing smarter materials, design-led processes, and technologies that add long-term value. Urban Line is among the standout names transforming house construction in Bangalore, known for its attention to detail, sustainability practices, and commitment to client satisfaction. 

Contemporary homes in Bangalore are increasingly being built with features like solar panel-ready rooftops, advanced insulation, smart wiring, and minimalist architecture that optimizes every square foot. These are no longer luxury additions—they’re the new normal for buyers who expect functionality, beauty, and environmental responsibility. 

Leading firms understand these evolving demands and provide holistic solutions—from architectural design and material selection to quality inspections and post-completion support. That's why many homeowners turn to the best house construction company in Bangalore to ensure their homes are not only visually stunning but also structurally sound and sustainable. 

How Quality Construction Increases Property Value 

The value of a home is no longer judged solely by its location. How it's constructed—materials used, layout efficiency, energy consumption, and adaptability to future needs—plays a massive role in determining its worth. 

Homes built with high-quality, modern construction techniques are significantly more energy-efficient, reducing electricity and water bills over time. They also attract more interest on the resale market thanks to features like smart home integration, green building certifications, and low-maintenance designs. In a competitive market like Bangalore, these aspects can dramatically boost a property’s resale value. 

Incorporating rainwater harvesting systems, low-VOC paints, natural ventilation systems, and earthquake-resistant structures are not just eco-conscious choices—they’re strategic investments that future-proof the home. These features appeal to environmentally aware buyers and often qualify for government incentives. 

What sets apart the best house construction company in Bangalore is their ability to anticipate market trends and deliver homes that reflect not just present-day living but tomorrow’s lifestyle as well. 

Bangalore: A Growing Hub for Modern Residential Construction 

The city of Bangalore has emerged as a leading market for real estate, driven by its booming tech industry and rising influx of professionals. With this growth comes a demand for smarter, more efficient homes that cater to urban lifestyles. 

As a result, house construction in Bangalore is undergoing a significant shift. Builders are now prioritizing structural safety, energy efficiency, space optimization, and designs that allow for better airflow and natural lighting. These elements not only improve day-to-day living but also contribute directly to increasing property value. 

Choosing the right partner is critical. Reputable companies follow strict quality standards, provide regular project updates, and use certified, durable materials. When you engage the right experts, every rupee you invest in construction pays dividends—in comfort, savings, and resale potential. 

Conclusion: Building More Than Just a House 

In today’s fast-evolving real estate market, investing in residential construction services that reflect modern innovations is no longer optional—it’s a strategic necessity. The difference in value, usability, and market appeal between a standard build and a thoughtfully constructed modern home is significant. 

Urban Line is at the forefront of this transformation, offering customized residential construction solutions that align with modern architectural trends, sustainable living principles, and functional aesthetics. By choosing the right construction partner, your next project won’t just be about creating a home—it will be about building a future-ready asset that stands the test of time.
