Over the past years, Saint-Gobain Glass, a leader in coating innovation, has launched some of the most advanced energy-efficient coated glass for façades, skylights and windows installed in all types of residential and commercial buildings. These coated glass products offer a broad spectrum of performance, in terms of thermal insulation, visible light transmittance and solar factor.For heating dominant climate, low-E coatings will reduce heat losses (Ug value) but need to keep a high solar factor to allow sun’s heat to come in.For cooling dominant climate, solar control coatings will reduce heat from outside to come inside, but need to reduce solar factor to let the sunlight in, while keeping out most of the heat.12 • BREEAM® with Saint-Gobain Glass
