Wherever energy is saved – whether by reducing the amount of cooling power used or artificial lighting - the environment also benefits as a result.
ln this context, it is a logical consequence that these types of sun protection glass products help certifying buildings according to, for example, LEED, BREEAM, DGNB or other worldwide-approved certification systems for sustainable construction. See Thermal Insulation Section
