How does the cost compare to low-e insulated glass?
Because in most installations, SageGlass products eliminate the need for interior and exterior blinds and shading systems, glass-to-glass price comparisons are not appropriate. The reduction of other costs must also be considered given the unprecedented benefits provided by the SageGlass product. Until now, glass and its necessary solar control devices were two different things. With SageGlass products, the glass IS the solar control device. Moreover, SageGlass products conserve energy and reduce first costs (smaller HVAC systems, for instance, can be used in many situations). Building maintenance costs are also lower because HVAC systems run less often, and there is no need to replace or repair shades and blinds. Thus, when the higher initial cost of SageGlass glazing is balanced with the reduced facilities and operating costs, the result can be a neutral impact on the project budget and in some cases could create cost savings.
