According to the European Commission’s 2024 report, buildings are responsible for 40% of total energy consumption in the EU and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions. These percentages highlight the potential for optimization, with up to 75% of this energy waste being mitigated through effective solutions, such as glass for thermal insulation.
The latest technologies in thermal insulating glass can reduce heat dispersion by up to 70% compared to traditional glass. This translates into energy savings of 20% to 30% on annual climate control costs.
Thermal glass is designed to limit heat transfer. Coating and layering technologies enable the glass to act as a thermal barrier, retaining heat indoors during winter and reflecting it during summer. The main advantages include:
High-performance thermal glass typically pays for itself within 3-5 years, offering net savings in subsequent years. According to GSE estimates, the use of efficient glass can cut CO2 emissions by up to 2.5 tons per year per 100 sqm of glazed surface.
