Learn how high-performance architectural glass can significantly improve the energy efficiency of buildings while reducing their operating costs and carbon emissions.
This course will review:
The solar energy spectrum and common glass performance measures
The manufacturing processes for pyrolytic and magnetron sputter vacuum deposition (MSVD) low-e coatings
How passive and solar control low-e coatings differ and impact glass performance measures
Commercial energy usage, and how low-e coatings can improve energy efficiency and help earn LEED® credit contributions
