Careful glazing selection for specific applications (considering things like climate, orientation, and building type) is critical for optimal energy performance and occupant comfort. Guardian’s ClimaGuard 75/68 is a good choice for the solar-exposed sides of buildings in cold climates where both high solar gain and low heat loss are desired. A U-value of 0.28 (or in triple-pane applications as low as 0.15) keeps heat in, but still allows 75 percent...

SuperLite ll-XL 45 is a fire resistive, technically advanced glazing product that blocks radiant heat transfer to meet ASTM E119 requirements. SAFTI FIRST was the first to provide this new technology to the USA in 1982. SuperLite ll-XL products have been tested to the stringent wall standard and therefore are considered a “transparent wall.” Fire resistive glazing allows for greater design flexibility while other fire protective glazing...

DuPont and Applied Materials, Inc. announced a collaboration to advance multiple printing technology that is expected to increase the absolute efficiency of crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) solar cells. By increasing the efficiency and yield of solar cells and modules, PV power can become more cost effective versus other forms of energy.
