4 code and regulatory takeaways from the NGA Glass Conference

Requirements for bird-friendly glass are on the rise. Pictured is the National Aviary, with bird-friendly glass by Walker Glass.
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 Committees.

Special 2020 Report | Glass Magazine

❷ Overcapacity leads to plant closures in Europe
❸ China dominates global production, but many lines sit idle
❹ Research partnerships unveil next steps in glass manufacturing
Last year’s float glass update told a story of relative stability for the industry. This year’s report, of course, finds a different, uncertain future—by the time it is published, the world will have experienced the COVID-19 pandemic for roughly a year.
Like the rest of the glass industry, float glass manufacturers across the world faced economic and manufacturing reversals in early 2020 as the pandemic led to partial or complete shutdowns.
“The primary challenges for us have been flexibility. COVID-19 created a lot of upheaval in terms of customer demands and changing delivery schedules, so adapting to those demands on the fly was probably the greatest challenge we faced as a result of the pandemic,” says Nathan McKenna, director of marketing and innovation for Vitro Architectural Glass.

December 16, 2020
Steve Marino, manager, technical services, Vitro Architectural Glass, and committee member for the National Glass Association, received the Construction Specifier’s Article of the Year Award for 2020.
The Construction Specifier Article of the Year Award is presented annually to the author of an original article published in the magazine during its most recent fiscal year. Individual articles are nominated by The Construction Specifier magazine editorial staff and judged by the magazine’s editorial advisory board.
This year, The Construction Specifier chose to honor Marino’s article “Breaking it Down: Keys to Diagnosing Glass Breakage in Buildings” from its July 2019 issue. The piece offers extensive information about glass breakage and explains techniques that enable building stakeholders to conduct “postmortems” on glass breaks to identify their most likely source of origin.
