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. ....
