 Why do we apply coatings on glass?
Change the thermal properties of the glass by

– Reducing the emissivity (thermal heat)

u-value (Low –e glass)
– Increasing the energy reflectance
solar factor – solar control glass G

– Optimizing the light transmission

reducing the glare and optimizing the lightning
Is it possible to build a green building
without glazing?

– Probably Yes / No .
– Mandatory requirements in terms of day-lighting.
– As per GRIHA 25% living area has to be daylight.
– Along with other performance parameters
prescribed under ECBC.

Pyrolytic process Magnetron Sputtering

• On-Line process • Off-Line Process
 Pyrolytic Process

 Thick layer
 Limited performance
 Low color rendering index
 High internal and external reflection

 Color Rendering Index (CRI)
• CRI describes how much the window distorts the color
appearance compared to a hole in the wall. 100
• Examples
– Tungsten bulb & Sunlight/Blue Sky = 100
– High Quality Fluorescent = 90 100
– Green Glass = 80
• Between 80-90 -> Good
• 90-100 -> Very Good 32
• Museums typically specify 95 or higher.

Solar Control: Required in Hot Climates
Measured by Solar Factor or G-Value or
Glass Needed: SunGuard Solar Series
Thermal Control: Needed whenever temperature
difference exists between outdoor &
indoor measured by U-Value (W/sqm.K)
Glass Needed: ClimaGuard Low-E
or Both: a combination of Solar & Thermal control
Glass Needed: SunGuard HP or SN or SNX
(Single Silver or Double Silver or Triple
Silver Coatings)
 Selection of the right glazing

Both Buildings could have the same Solar Factor and U-Value but the Light
Transmission
And Outdoor Light Reflections differs
Consequence: Solar Factor and U-Value are not necessarily related to Light
Transmission
 Selectivity (LSG – Light to Solar Gain Ratio)
One important issue for modern architecture is transparency
in order to provide the end user maximum housing comfort.
In order to describe a solar contral glass objectively, it‘s
always important to consider beside the solar factor (energy
transmission) at the same time the day light transmission.

Thermal Stress Guidelines

Status Meaning Temperature Range
Celsius Fahrenheit
Stop Heat strengthening is advised. x > 73.9 x > 165
Caution Borderline situation. 65.6 <= x <= 73.9 150 <= x <= 165
Go Go for annealed SunGuard Products x < 65.6 x < 150
As the Performance Calculator does not account for the sizes of the units, heat
strengthening is also advised for all lites outboard for the first Low-E coating when the area
of the unit is 3.25 square meters (35 square feet) or greater,
regardless of the output Thermal Stress Guidline.

 Glass Visualizer
• This new tool leverages the glass modeling power of Guardian's
Performance Calculator, giving the user the ability to immediately
visualize photo-realistic images of glass make-up generated by the
Performance Calculator.
• The Glass Visualizer provides a simple interface that guides the user
through a series of selections in order to view their glass make-ups under
varying lighting conditions.
• The Glass Visualizer dynamically generates visualizations based on glass
make-up spectral data (DNA) exported from the Performance Calculator.
• Glass Spectral data combined with standard indoor lighting conditions
outdoor sky conditions to generate photo-realistic images that depicting
reflected
• transmitted glass appearance.
