Solarban~r Low-e Glasses Cut Cooling Costs, Equipment Costs And Carbon Emissions

摘要

Architects and building owners can save millions in HVAC equipment and energy costs when they specify Solarban solar control, low-e glasses by PPG. Solarban 70XL glass, the industry's first triple-silver-coated, solar-control, low-e glass has an impossibly impressive light to solar gain (LSG) ratio of 2.37.rnWhen substituted for dual-pane tinted glass in a standard, window-walled, eight-story building, energy modeling studies show that it can lower initial HVAC equipment costs by $400,000 and annual energy costs by nearly $100,000. Even better, the same building glazed with Solarban 70XL glass emits 200 to 500 fewer tons of carbon per year, depending on its location.
