Energy Efficient Laminated Glass Constructions

Laminated glass offers the potential for a vast
range of options in regard to the energy
performance and aesthetics of building glazing,
while also furnishing enhanced safety, structural
integrity, security and sound attenuation.
Various laminated glass configurations can be
used in a single glazing or insulating glass unit to
achieve desired solar control and optical
performance.
These include:
• Laminated glass with coloured interlayers.
• Laminated body tinted glass.
• Laminated spectrally selective heat
absorbing glass.
• Laminated metallic coated glass.
• Laminated Low-E glass.
• Laminates combining the above products.
In this presentation the versatility of laminated
glass in energy efficient building design is
illustrated using examples of recent building
projects. The application of SolarLAM TM computer
software as an aid in project design is also
demonstrated.
