How Low-E Glass Works

The available solar and thermal performance options for glass are constantly improving, making glass one of the most popular and versatile building materials used today. One way performance can be improved is through the use of passive and solar-control low-e coatings. This video breaks down how these two types of coatings work and the impact they have on a building’s energy performance.

Awesome video! This is a great explanation of Low-E coatings.

Windows, more than just glass

It there any difference in the unit if low e is on the 2nd or 3rd surface? Would the unit get hotter with 3rd surface

On my Andersen "Sunglass" stuff they use two coatings one of each inside surface, i think, verses the non sunglass windows with only one coating. Sunglass versions are really amazing in stopping the direct hot sun from making rooms uncomfortable, versus just stanard low e stuff, big differences in coatings. cardinal glass is another big maker of this stuff. Windows are so much more than just glass today, science in action..it matters

Please provide a version of this minus the annoyingly incessant music.
