Thus,<strong> low-emissivity glass <\/strong>is an element <strong>at the service of sustainability.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The knowledge gained about insulation makes everyone more attentive and aware. The clients themselves require the best sustainable solution for their home or office.<\/p>\n<p>Before learning more about low-emissivity glass and some alternatives to it, let us consider the three ways heat is propagated from the inside of a location to the outside.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conduction: the transfer occurs through two bodies in contact with each other.<\/li>\n<li>Convection, from a solid body to a fluid, liquid or gaseous one, accompanied by a mass transfer.<\/li>\n<li>Irradiation, through electromagnetic waves between two bodies with different temperatures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Simple float glasses are not able to counteract these factors and to keep the rooms at an optimal temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the will to improve sustainability materialises in the choice of a thermal frame, with a low-emissivity glass and a <strong>heat-resistant<\/strong> structure favored by the use of material such as wood.<\/p>\n<p>Attention to this aspect brings a direct economic benefit to those who live there, who regularly experience a significant reduction in bill costs. At the same time, it allows less resources to be wasted, supporting the much greater cause that involves the well-being of our planet.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the thermal insulation of buildings is closely related to its fixtures. So let&#8217;s find out more about what low-emissivity glass is and why it is considered an element at the service of sustainability.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Low emission glass characteristics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Low emission glass <\/strong>has precise <strong>characteristics<\/strong>, which make it essential in the temperature insulation of doors and windows. If we think that glass constitutes 80% of a window, we understand how fundamental its role is.<\/p>\n<p>If once it was almost ignored, today we pay great attention to the various types of glass and its characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>Low emission glass is designed to minimize heat dispersion. This is possible thanks to its<strong> invisible coating<\/strong>, made with<strong> metal oxides <\/strong>that help to contain the dispersion of heat.<\/p>\n<p>This occurs without altering the aesthetic characteristics of the glass, which, unchanged in color, offers the same brightness as a common glass.<\/p>\n<p>Low emission glass is the most used for the realization of <strong>double glazing<\/strong>, that is an element consisting of two glass sheets separated by an interspace that is filled with gas such as argon, xenon or krypton. It has the function of reducing the heat flow, ensuring maximum energy savings.<\/p>\n<p>Low emission glass is perfect for windows and large glazed surfaces. It is even more important when the glass surfaces are large, as it happens in the glass and steel structure of the panoramic terrace created by<strong> Capoferri for the Milan Triennale.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The vertical doors and the slightly inclined cover are made of laminated and tempered low-emission glass panels , which boast even greater value thanks to a sliding curtain in double-coated fabric that acts as a cover.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of low emission glass and frames made of low thermal transmittance materials gives life to high thermal resistance windows, which are also suitable for the harshest climatic conditions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Low emissivity glass advantages<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We want to investigate all the <strong>advantages <\/strong>of<strong> low-emissivity glass <\/strong>and how the choice of glass suitable for different climatic conditions can change domestic energy consumption and work towards sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s go back to a careful analysis of the advantages, which do not only concern the energy saving aspect.<\/p>\n<p>Low-emissivity glass has a number of features that make it highly recommended:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>brightness;<\/li>\n<li>thermal insulation;<\/li>\n<li>sound absorbing function;<\/li>\n<li>economic advantage<\/li>\n<li>sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>First of all, consider that low-emissivity glass is generally used for the production of double glazing, which enhances its properties. The two sheets prevent the passage of long solar radiation waves, performing an insulating function. This involves a significant <strong>saving on energy consumption.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the double glazing <strong>eliminates external noises<\/strong>, leaving the interiors in a pleasant feeling of tranquility to be enjoyed when the windows are closed.<\/p>\n<p>Added to this is a large-scale benefit, such as the opportunity to create comfortable environments, <strong>optimizing energy expenditure<\/strong> for heating and contributing to the well-being of our planet.<\/p>\n<p>The advantages are important and you can benefit from them without huge expenses.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the cost of low-emissivity glass is not particularly high, especially considering the remarkable <strong>economic advantages<\/strong> in terms of heating or air conditioning consumption.<\/p>\n<p>The cost difference with traditional glass is irrelevant, but as a result you will have an apartment, house or office designed from an ecological perspective and the costs incurred for its construction will be an investment in the future.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are the alternatives<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now that it is clear that low-emission glass is an excellent solution to thermal insulation, it is good to know that there are valid <strong>alternatives<\/strong> to it. They are able to retain heat too.<\/p>\n<p>The different solutions designed for the sustainability of buildings require the installation of thermal glass combined with frames made of low transmittance materials.<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s shift our attention from the problem of containing the cold to that of the heat transfer.<\/p>\n<p>The thermal glass has the function of maintaining stable domestic temperatures, preventing excessive cooling and heating of the interior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Selective glass<\/strong> is also particularly suitable for this function.<\/p>\n<p>Selective glass is the ideal solution for south-facing windows. Leaving the passage of light unchanged, they stop the heat, limiting the rise in internal temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>Due to these peculiarities, they are widely used in warm climate areas. Their characteristics prevent the passage of heat from outside to inside, avoiding overheating of the rooms and significantly reducing the use of AC.<\/p>\n<p>Also in this case, bill costs and the environmental impact are drastically reduced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the construction or renovation of a building, energy efficiency plays a central role.
