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...
