What are the benefits of low-e glazing?
It’s an energy conservation option. It allows building owners to have lower energy costs, lower heating bills in the winter, and lower air-conditioning costs in the warmer months. And it also has some significant ability to reduce the transmission of ultraviolet rays. It depends on the formulation that’s used by the particular manufacturer but somewhere around three-quarters of the ultraviolet radiation that would normally get through to the interiors is blocked by low-e. So it means that an owner has fewer worries about fading of carpet or draperies.
