Currently the industry offers low-E on both surface #2 and surface #3. On which surface would you recommend to position the coating to achieve the best solar performance?
Many buildings in Europe are glazed with the low-E coating on surface #3 in order to reflect the heat back into the building as efficiently as possible. Reducing solar heat gain is most important in commercial buildings where air conditioning costs can be high. Low-E on surface #2 reduces the solar heat gain buy the glazing may appear visually different in reflection when viewed from outside. Low-E coating is often on surface #3 when body tinted or solar control coatings are used on surface #2.
