12220 performance data and technical support The discovery of glassware in ancient Mesopotamia has been dated to approximately 7000 years old. The use of glass as a building material dates back to ancient Rome, about 30BC to 345AD. The early methods of manufacture was through blowing the glass into shape. This technique produced low quality small sized sheets mainly for use in win­dows. This method was used well into the seven­teenth century. float glass manufacture The twentieth century saw improvements in the method of glass manufacture through better optical quality and larger panels. Nevertheless, these improvements still produced glass with slightly uneven or distorted surfaces. In order to improve the optical qualities, both surfaces were sometimes required to be ground and polished to achieve greater flatness and no distortion. In 1952, Pilkington Glass invented the ‘Float Process’ which revolutionised glass manufacture. The process ensured high optical quality, flatness and no distortion (see Diagram 20.1). The float process begins with the mixing of raw materials through the batch house (1). The raw materials are then fed into a melting furnace (2) where they are heated to around 1700ºC. The molten glass mixture then flows into a bath filled with molten or liquid tin (3). The molten glass floats on top of the tin in the float bath. The temperature now decreases to around 1100ºC and the hardening glass floats out of the tin bath into the annealing chamber (4) until the temperature falls to around 700ºC. From the annealing chamber the glass is then cut (5) into the required sheet sizes. Due to the flat surface of the liquid tin, the float process creates exceptionally flat glass sheets, absolutely free from distortion. The float line process is a 24 hour a day non-stop operation. A float line can be operated continuously for periods of around 10 years without repair or refit. diagram 20.1: float glass manufacture float glass manufacturing line 123 1 2 3 4 5 Batch house Furnace Molten tin float bath Annealing chamber Cutting glass performance data table 20c: glass weights table 20a: major components of glass mm kg/m2 2 5 % 3 7.5 Silica SiO2 70–74 4 10 Soda Na2O 12–15 5 12.5 Clear Soda Lime glass Lime CaO 8–10 Magnesium Oxide MgO 3.5–4.5 6 15 8 20 K2O 0.3–0.8 10 25 Alumina AI2O3 0.0–2.0 12 30 FeO3 0.08–0.11 15 37.5 Potassium Oxide Iron Oxide 19 47.5 25 62.5 table 20b: general properties of glass Refractive Index Surface Reflectance 1.50–1.58 table 20d: conversions and cal­culations 4% each side (total of 8%) Softening Point 720–730ºC Specific Heat 0–100ºC 0.20 Compressive strength (25mm cube) 248MPa Tensile Strength – Annealed 19.3–28.4 MPa Tensile Strength – Toughened 175 MPa Co-efficient of Linear Expansion (Room temperature to 350ºC) 9.0 x 10–6/ºC Hardness Mohs’ Scale 6.0 Density 2500 kg/m3 Young’s Modulus (Elasticity) 69 GPa Possion’s Ratio 0.23 Inches to Millimetres 1 inch = 25.4mm Fahrenheit to Celsius C = f – 32 x 5 ÷ 9 Square feet to Square metres π = 3.142857 Radius of a circle (r) Diameter of a circle (D) Circumference of a circle (C) Area of a circle Area of a square/rectangle Perimeter or lineal measurement of a square/rectangle (Lineal metre) 10.764 square foot = 1m2 Centre to outer edge D=2xr C = πD πr2 Height x Width Height + Width x 2 It is not a Grade A Safety Glass.

The SHGC can also be stated in the fol­lowing ways: 0 3mm clear lets in 86% of the sun’s total direct heat. This is a useful measure for glass where: 0 restrictions exist on the level of reflection allowed. SHGC has a trade-off relationship with visible light trans­ mittance. has a SHGC of 0.

In general. thermal control The Sun’s direct transmission on the glass is not the only way in which heat is transferred. solar heat gain co-efficient SHGC Refers to the total amount of solar energy transmittance entering a building through the glazing as heat gain. 0 UV transmission. Only low-E coated glass and IGU’s can provide improved thermal control. the lower the SHGC.00). page 103). All glass products (apart from specialty anti-reflecting products such as Amiran® or Luxar™) have internal reflectances which make it difficult to see clearly out of a window at night time (with lights on inside) conditions. It’s most commonly used in regards to the cooling of the building. (Similar to the functional performance of batt or insulation foil for walls and ceilings). conduction and convection. the lower the level of heat entry into a room or interior. The higher the number the brighter the interior will be. Another way to describe how the SHGC is used is in terms of energy consumption in watts/m2. In this example the Sunergy® glass is reducing the sun’s direct energy through the glass into the building by 58%. SHGC can also be calculated as 86% of the Shading Co-efficient. The energy emitted from our Sun is referred to as solar energy or solar radiation. shading co-efficient This term indicates the total amount of solar energy that passes through a glass as compared to 3mm clear float (3mm clear float has a base factor of 1. This can in some instances affect the amount of artificial lighting needed and the interior brightness of a room. Adding an additional pane of glass (IGU) and modifying the surface of the glass with a low-E coating will improve the insulation properties of the glass when compared to ordinary non coated glass. Solar control also refers to the ability of a glass to reduce visible light and UV transmittance. SHGC is sometimes also referred to as the solar factor (SF). This measure equates to the Sun’s direct transmittance energy (T) plus the part of this energy absorbed by the glass and re-radiated inside (E) (see Diagram 15.86. For example the sun’s direct energy typically radiates on a hot day 785 watts per m2 and 6mm Sunergy® Green has a SHGC of 0. The lower the number the less heat gain. Solar control makes reference to the ability of glass to control or reduce the sun’s direct heat energy on a window. Internal reflectances increase with the use of reflective coated glass products. This is a useful measure when determining the level of internal reflectance at night time. 0 Visible light transmittance. visible light transmittance VLT This term is used to describe the percentage level of interior daylight that a particular glass lets through. Thermal control refers to the ability of a glazing to resist heat transfer through these three methods. Heat is also transferred by method of re-radiation.130 definitions of performance values visible light internal reflectance VLRi solar control This refers to the percentage level of visible light that is reflected internally by a glass as detected by the human eye. 0 3 mm clear keeps out only 14% of the sun’s total direct heat. If you multiply 785 watts x 0. Look for the following performance values to measure solar control: 0 Solar heat gain co-efficient (SHGC). See also “U-value”.2.42. 0 the higher the percentage number the greater the mirror like appearance.42 (SHGC) you get 329 watts per m2 radiated into the building. These thermal or insulation improvements work day and night in both summer and winter conditions. . By controlling solar heat gains in summer. The LSG ratio assists commercial and to a de­gree residential building designers to calculate building energy efficiency. Other industries use the “R” value for measuring insulation. The standard climate conditions used to calculate U-values in this catalogue are based upon NFRC 100 – 2001 methodology. The lower the U-value the better the thermal insula­tion properties of the glazing system. Low energy costs are achieved through windows that have low SHGC (to control sun’s direct solar heat). SHGC. (The LSG ratio is sometimes also referred to as the ‘Luminous Efficacy’ or ‘Cool­ness Factor’) which is calculated by the VLT divided by the shading co-efficient – not the SHGC). spectrally selective glazing significantly reduces building energy con­sumption and peak demand. U-value is measured in watts per square metre per degree Celsius (Wm2K) difference. VLT and U-value have the biggest impact on energy efficient glazing. That means that the transmit­tance of heat through a glazing system changes. high visible light transmittance (VLT) and high levels of thermal insula­tion for both summer heat gain and winter heat loss (as measured by low U-value numbers). The U-value is the reciprocal of the “R” value and either can be calculated from the other e. Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers). These three performance values. relative heat gain RHG W/m2 Relative heat gain combines the shading co-efficient with U-value to measure the total heat gain for summer time conditions.9w/m2ºC and multiplying the difference between outdoor and indoor temperature (32ºC outside and 24ºC inside = 8ºC) > 5. The LSG ratio should also be used in conjunction with occupant comfort factors such as glare. It is a rating system used almost exclusively by the window/glass industry worldwide. “Spectrally selective glazing” is generic terminology for window glass that per­mits some portions of the solar spectrum to enter a building while blocking others. It does not measure heat transfer by the Sun’s direct transmittance as measured by the SHGC. LSG ratio Refers to the light-to-solar heat gain ratio and is calculated by the visible light transmission (VLT) divided by SHGC. U = 1/R or R = 1/U. This is particularly useful for building designers to determine air-conditioning loads. convection and re-radia­tion. 131 .9 x 8ºC = 47watts per m2 heat transferred between the outside and inside. UV and noise control. The primary driver for building energy efficiency is a fast pay­back of costs associated with implementation of energy efficient measures and on-going lower energy costs. However.g. U and R values are variable and dependent upon climatic conditions. This high performance glazing admits as much daylight as possible while preventing transmission of as much solar heat as possible. LSG ratios are used to determine whether a glazing is spectrally selective. The formula is: SC (Shading co-efficient) x W/m2 (Direct solar intensity) plus U-value W/m2 (Summer U-value) x 8ºC (Difference between outdoor and indoor temperature) The conditions formulated to determine the RHG are by ASHRAE (American Society for Heating. preventing heat loss of interior heat in winter. The amount of heat energy transferred as measured by the U-value can be calculated by taking for example 4mm clear float with a U-value of 5. See also page 104. Therefore glass transmits heat at varying rates depending upon the prevailing climatic condition. and allowing occupants to reduce electric lighting use by making maximum use of daylight. When comparing glazing systems based upon U-value.UV transmission spectral selectivity This refers to the percentage of the sun’s harmful ultra violet light (UV) that is transmit­ted through glass. Ultra violet light aids in fading and damaging furniture. U-value U-value measures the rate of heat flow through the glazing by conduction. LSG ratios on their own can be misleading. it is important that the climatic conditions used to model all the systems are the same. It is most com­monly measured in the 300–400nm wave­length range. carpets etc and can be harmful to people. 6 6mm SuperClear 91 8 8 1.8 8mm Grey (Euro) 34 5 5 0.41 0.45 5.71 5.7 4mm SuperGreen 73 8 8 0.9 4mm 89 8 8 0.61 0.57 0.73 0.86 0.58 0.49 5.69 5.46 5.61 0.52 5.5 19mm 81 6 6 0.7 12mm 84 7 7 0.56 5.90 5.65 5.50 5.7 12mm Grey (Euro) 20 4 4 0.52 0.7 10mm Grey (Euro) 26 4 4 0.65 0.59 0.69 0.65 0.7 10mm 86 7 7 0.6 4mm Green (VFloat) 82 8 8 0.9 5mm Grey (Euro) 50 5 5 0.36 5.89 0.89 5.7 4mm Grey (Euro) 56 6 6 0.4 low-iron ultra clear 4mm Starphire 91 8 8 1.83 0.88 5.52 5.63 0.7 6mm Caribia 68 7 7 0.03 0.74 0.8 6mm Graylite 14 5 5 0.95 0.7 12mm Starphire 90 8 8 1.67 0.77 0.8 6mm 88 7 7 0.51 5.53 5.55 5.70 5.01 0.55 0.77 5.81 5.03 0.52 0.53 5.75 5.63 5.62 5.52 5.8 8mm Green Panasap 63 6 6 0.6 6mm SuperBlue 53 6 6 0.74 0.86 5.79 0.63 0.7 10mm Green Panasap 59 6 6 0.6 15mm 83 6 6 0.57 5.48 5.8 6mm SuperGrey 9 4 4 0.58 5.8 tinted float glass 6mm Azuria 68 7 7 0.8 6mm Grey (Euro) 44 5 5 0.61 5.60 0.65 5.70 0.53 0.48 5.67 5.9 5mm 88 8 8 0.93 0.74 0.99 0.64 5.9 5mm Bronze (VFloat™) 54 6 6 0.8 6mm Dark Grey 15 4 4 0.57 0.54 5.8 10mm Starphire 91 8 8 1.8 10mm Green (VFloat) 63 6 6 0.02 0.8 6mm Bronze (VFloat™) 49 6 5 0.72 5.60 0.8 .90 5.55 0.glass performance values az azuria brz bronze clr clear c_blu cool blue et energytech EV EVantage grn green gry grey N Sunergy Neutral Sunergy sg supergreen 132 VLT VLR VLRi Visible light Visible light Visible light Shading transmission reflectance reflectance co-efficient SHGC U-value Colour and type % External % Internal % W/m2K single glazed – monolithic clear float 3mm 90 8 8 0.60 5.8 4mm Bronze (VFloat™) 61 7 6 0.64 0.71 0.8 6mm SuperGreen 67 6 6 0.9 6mm Starphire 91 8 8 1.9 5mm Green (VFloat) 79 7 7 0.82 0.8 10mm SuperBlue 41 5 5 0.84 5.69 5.81 0.91 5.71 0.8 8mm 87 7 7 0.8 4mm Green Panasap 77 7 7 0.79 0.9 5mm SuperGreen 70 7 6 0.62 5.8 6mm Green (VFLoat) 77 7 7 0.8 10mm Bronze (VFloat™) 34 5 5 0.8 6mm Green Panasap 70 6 6 0.9 5mm Green Panasap 74 7 7 0.56 5.8 5mm Dark Grey 22 4 4 0.04 0.82 5.45 5.97 0.7 12mm Green Panasap 54 6 6 0. 33 0.8 5.27 0.38 0.40 0.37 4.41 0.0 5.8 4.38mm TS30 green PVB laminated (3) 6mm TS30 on grey float (2) 6.44 0.3 5.40 0.39 0.22 0.27 0.34 0.34 0.8 28 18 42 21 28 34 13 11 15 11 24 26 13 15 20 9 15 18 11 11 22 23 13 15 18 17 9 9 12 15 8 10 17 19 10 12 14 14 8 8 38 38 37 38 37 38 37 47 33 34 34 21 34 34 33 34 34 20 34 20 34 22 34 34 34 21 34 19 30 18 30 17 30 18 30 30 30 17 30 18 0.27 0.29 0.34 0.32 0.38mm TS30 bronze PVB laminated (3) 6mm TS30 on clear float (2) 6.9 5.36 0.5 4.35 0.41 0.9 5.38mm TS30 grey PVB laminated (3) 6 5 8 5 6 7 4 5 16 12 20 25 13 15 17 9 16 22 12 15 20 24 13 16 18 21 10 13 23 28 17 19 29 33 19 23 25 28 14 17 133 .44 0.0 5.46 0.8 5.3 5.34 0.38mm TS21 green PVB laminated (3) 6mm TS21 on grey float (2) 6.30 0.33 0.0 4.8 reflective – pyrolytic 6mm Solarcool Azuria (2) 6mm Solarcool Grey (2) reflective – vacuum coated: solarplus® 6mm SS08 on Azuria float (2) 6mm SS08 on bronze float (2) 6mm SS08 on clear (2) 6mm SS08 on Dark Blue Panasap (2) 6mm SS08 on Evergreen float (2) 6mm SS08 on green float (2) 6mm SS08 on grey float (2) 6.27 0.38 0.44 5.38mm TS21 bronze PVB laminated (3) 6mm TS21 on clear float (2) 6.29 0.8 5.47 0.32 0.8 5.35 0.9 4.39 0.44 0.5 4.38mm TS21 cool blue PVB laminated (3) 6mm TS21 on bronze float (2) 6.34 0.5 4.39 0.39 0.33 0.9 5.5 5.20 0.23 0.38 0.7 5.29 0.22 0.5 4.40 0.0 5.3 5.9 5.38mm SS08 grey PVB laminated (3) 6mm SS22 on Azuria float (2) 6mm SS22 on bronze float (2) 6mm SS22 on clear float (2) 6.8 4.37 0.35 0.9 4.30 0.34 0.38mm TS21 grey PVB laminated (3) 6mm TS30 on Azuria float (2) 6.38 0.30 0.41 0.35 0.29 0.5 4.35 0.24 0.23 0.30 0.38 0.38mm SS22 clear PVB laminated (2) 6mm SS22 on Dark Blue Panasap (2) 6mm SS22 on Evergreen float (2) 6mm SS22 on green float (2) 6mm SS22 on grey float (2) 6mm TS21 on Azuria float (2) 6.40 0.28 0.27 0.23 0.31 0.41 0.29 0.3 5.0 5.44 0.3 5.46 0.0 5.29 0.38mm TS30 cool blue PVB laminated (3) 6mm TS30 on bronze float (2) 6.3 5.38mm TS30 clear PVB laminated (2) 6mm TS30 on Dark Blue Panasap (2) 6mm TS30 on Evergreen float (2) 6mm TS30 on green float (2) 6.38mm TS21 clear PVB laminated (2) 6mm TS21 on Dark Blue Panasap (2) 6mm TS21 on Evergreen float (2) 6mm TS21 on green float (2) 6.
