Low-E (Low Emissivity) Glass: An Upfront Investment For Lower Future Energy Costs on Your Commercial Property

Pros:

• Energy Efficiency: Coated with a thin layer that reflects heat, improving insulation.

• UV Protection: Blocks UV rays while allowing visible light to pass through.

Cons:

• Cost: Higher initial cost due to the special coating.

• Potential Haze: The coating can sometimes cause a slight haze.

Common Uses:

• Residential Windows: To improve energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer.

• Commercial Buildings: For large windows and glass facades to reduce energy costs.

• Skylights: To allow natural light while minimizing heat gain or loss.

Sustainability Factors:

• Energy Consumption: Higher energy required for the coating process.

• Energy Efficiency: Superior at reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling, making it highly sustainable over its lifetime.

• Recycled Materials: Can incorporate recycled glass.
