• Glass is one of the most popular and versatile
  building materials used today and modern
  performance glass is extraordinary in various
  aspects. One such aspect is energy efficiency. In
  winters and summers, there is a lot of heat
  energy and cold wave energy that we need to store
  indoors to remain comfortable. When we talk about
  modern glasses there is an additional double
  glazing coating done, to prevent the energy to
  leave the confined space.

• The pattern and the built-in properties of modern
  glass have not changed over half a century. If we
  have a look at the different timelines of glass
  technology, we will observe that glass technology
  has come a long way and as a result of today we
  have energy-efficient glasses. All across the
  world right now, the high energy efficiency bar
  is being lifted. Modern performance energy
  efficient glasses give you the freedom to build
  with the maximum wow factor. It is also known by
  the name of e-glass and comfort glass.

• These kinds of glasses have an e-coating in the
  glass front that sends back the harmful UV rays
  and infrared rays of the sun. It only allows
  visible light to penetrate in the form of radiant
  energy, which is an important form of heat
  transfer. This filtered penetration reduces the
  emissivity of the glass and reducing the
  emissivity of one or more glass surfaces benefits
  the overall glass performance. These
  energy-efficient glasses have a microscopic
  coating that reflects long-wave infrared energy
  or heat. When the interior heat tries to escape
  to the cold outside during the winters, these
  glasses reflect the heat inside.

• The reverse happens in the summer when these
  glasses reduce the heat absorbed by the glass and
  hence you would not have to use your air-
  conditioners much and will also reduce fading on
  your space floors. One pane of energy-efficient
  glass is equal to 2 panes of normal glasses in
  terms of overall functionality. The e-coating
  mentioned above are of two different types
  namely-

• Passive Low E-Coating- This kind is applied to
  glass ribbons during the production of glass.
  They are applied to the various insulating
  surface of the glass unit. This kind of coating
  is very durable and very good for cold climates
  because they allow some of the suns rays to pass
  through and help to build the heat during the
  winters.
• Solar Control Low E-Coating- Most solar control
  low e-coating are used in solar bands. It is
  applied to pre-cut glasses. This is also known as
  soft coat and has lower emissivity and superior
  solar control. They are ideal for mild to hot
  climates.
• Both of these kinds of e-coating result in better
  energy-efficient high-performance glasses.
