    Re: solar Glass

    Solar glass is a special type of glass coated with varying coatings to control the radiant heat flow. Depending on energy requirements of a building, low emittance coatings are layered upon glass, for example, to prevent excessive heat loss or to minimize heat gain. If you're interested in finding out more about the materials used, let me know.

    Solar #-Link-Snipped-# is the combination of solar and glass technologies. Glass windows coated with a low-emittance (low-E) coating block #-Link-Snipped-# transfer. This lowers the amount of heat that passes through a window. Depending on energy needs, different types of low-E coatings allow for high, moderate, or low solar gains. Solar glass is often used to lower energy costs.
    Low-E coatings are nearly invisible, and made up of layers of metal or metallic oxide on a glass surface. The coating is transparent to #-Link-Snipped-#. In layered #-Link-Snipped-#, heat can be transferred between panes of glass, from warmer to cooler. Putting a low-E coated pane in the space between layers of glass helps block that heat. Window technologists in the past filled this gap with air or dry #-Link-Snipped-#.
