It has been said that if engineers, instead of architects, designed efficient buildings, there would be no windows. Refrigerators are boxes just like our homes, and for good reasons most of them have no windows. You can get a commercial refrigerator with a glass door, but the sacrifice is efficiency to get that view inside. This one becomes transparent as you approach it, which is pretty neat and might save energy if it is well insulated and you don’t have to open the door as much.
Seems like a good idea to me. What if we were the milk cartons and our home the fridge? This time of year keeping cool can mean keeping the door closed on our homes because your air conditioner works double time when the door is left open. It also works harder when there’s a lack of insulation and lots of air leakage in your home. Hey, if you are the produce and don’t wish to perish, consider keeping cool by improving your home. We can help!
Thanks,
Jason

I accidentally stumbled here while searching for transparent refrigerators
While people argue how much energy it could actually save, I think it’s a neat feature.
