All that Glass Can Do | 3 building performance cost-benefit questions

-200% 26% Progress in reading among students due to daylighting Sources: (absenteeism) independent studies from Lockheed Martin in California and ING Bank in the Netherlands; (turnover) study from Story County (Iowa) Human Services; (eyestrain, headaches and drowsiness) Department of Design and Environmental Analysis, Cornell University, “Worker Reactions to Electrochromic and Low-E Glass Office Windows;” (in schools)Heschong Mahone Group, “Daylighting in Schools: An Investigation into the Relationship Between Daylighting and Human Performance.” How can glass and glazing cut down HVAC and lighting costs? HVAC systems account for about 40 percent of total energy use in commercial buildings, according to the Department of Energy. Meanwhile, lighting systems capture about 16 percent of electricity costs. Building owners can offset costs in both areas through the use of high-performance glass and glazing products, and by maximizing natural daylighting.

High Performance This guide on All That Glass Can Do begins with a closer look at thermal and energy performance. When it comes to glass, the top demand from owners and designers are systems that allow projects to feature large expanses of glass while meeting energy code requirements. Energy code requirements The national energy codes are becoming more stringent, cycle after cycle, according to Tom Culp, owner of Birch Point Consulting and energy code consultant for the NGA. Culp describes it as a rough “zone shift” in each updated edition. “Every three years, in our normal work at ASHRAE, IECC, California Title 24, we see steady advancement and uptake in energy-efficient technologies while also being practical and cost-effective,” he says.

The National Glass Association held its winter NGA Glass Conference Feb. 9. At the top of the agenda for the virtual meeting: new energy and environmental codes and regulations that will impact the glass industry, driving product trends and asking more from companies. 1. Glassmakers meet California emissions targets, for now. The Buy Clean California Act, known as AB 262, requires that the state’s Department of General Services sets maximum acceptable Global Warming Potential carbon emissions targets for certain building products, including flat glass, going into public construction projects. The targets are based on Environmental Product Declarations as part of a product’s Life Cycle Analysis. The industry celebrated a major advocacy win in January, when California’s DGS adopted the recommended GWP targets from the NGA’s Advocacy and Forming C
