Collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. His drawings and furniture scale models are much in demand by collectors. Glass was awarded 52 US patents, of which 29 are referenced online. He was a Fellow of the Industrial Designers Society of America and received numerous other awards. He died on August 27, 2003, at the age of 91. Concepts, buildings and designs Concepts: Efficiency in materials use, minimize waste in manufacturing, reduce environmental impact. Optimize shipping, portability & storage of furnishings by use of folding and collapsing design elements. This earned him the name "Folding Glass" in the industrial design community.

Glass House (1948) Northfield, Illinois Alcoa Forecast Accordium Camp Trailer (1964) for Aluminum Corporation of America Ski Chalet (1965) Northern Michigan Prefab High Rise (1968) for Mobile Homes Manufacturing Association The Henry P. Glass House (1948) is arguably the first passive solar house in America and has been continuously occupied for over 60 years. Previous passive solar houses were either experimental or did not possess all the essential features of a solar home. In the Chicago area, George Fred Keck had included some of these passive solar design features (roof overhang, N-S ventilation, masonry floor) in the Spence House in 1941. Innovative new designs incorporating passive solar elements were built by Frank Lloyd Wright, F.W. Hutchinson and others but they lacked one or more features incorporated in Henry's design. It is important to differentiate these passive solar designs from the Active Design work carried on at M.I.T. which required fans or pumps to transfer the heat from the collectors to storage areas. Passive solar features of the Henry P. Glass House include: South facing structure maximizes heat from winter sun Large glass solar collection windows on south side Thermopane glass used in windows reduces heat loss Blinds over thermopane windows further reduce nighttime heat loss in winter Angled roof provides maximum sunlight in winter North-South cross ventilation in summer Roof overhang shades interior of house in summer Deciduous trees on south side provide shade in summer, allow light through in winter Berm on south side blocks winter wind Small windows on north side reduce heat loss in winter Concrete slab floor acts as a heatsink to absorb thermal energy in day, release at night Black
