Pyrolitic coatingsPyrolitic coatings
� metallic oxides applied during the float
� commonly called “hard” coats
� AFG Comfort E2™ (ε = 0.20) and Stopsol™
� Pilkington Energy Advantage (ε = 0.16)
� PPG Sungate 500 (ε = 0.21)� PPG Sungate 500 (ε = 0.21)
� more durable during assembly and storage
� can be heat-treated and laminated
� no need for edge deletion
� can be used monolithically (not recommended)
� reflective coatings can be on #1 surface — not recommended
Sputter coatingsSputter coatings
� bombardment of metal or metal-oxide atoms
� aka vapour deposition, or “soft” coat
� specific metal used determines performance
� AFG Comfort Ti™ (ε = 0.03 - 0.04)
� PPG Solarban 60 (ε = 0.035)
� PPG Sungate 100 (ε = 0.09)
� Cardinal Lo-e2 (ε = 0.04) or Lo-e3 (ε = 0.05)
� less durable than pyrolitic coatings
� typically lower U-factor, lower transmittance
� can be applied to any glass substrate
� some now becoming post-temperable
no low-e detected
low-e on other side of near glass
low-e on one side of far glass
all lit = low-e on contact surface
The Envelope, Please: Transmission LossesThe Envelope, Please: Transmission Losses
• U-factor is measured in W/m2-°C, or in BTU/hr-ft2°F
• R is reciprocal of U, so it’s m2-°C/W, or hr-ft2°F/BTU
• Determined by hot-box measurement (SCC accredited lab)
or computer model (FRAME/VISIO�, THERM/WI�DOW)
• Typical values:

• SHGC determined by direct measurement (�STF), or by
computer model (VISIO� in Canada, WI�DOW in the US)
• number of glazing layers
• presence of tints or coatings
• type of coating (pyrolitic or vapour-deposition)
• surface on which coating is applied (#2 or #3)
• shading (intentional, self-shading, adjacent buildings)• shading (intentional, self-shading, adjacent buildings)
• amount of glazed area and orientation

Gas FillsGas Fills
� most common gas fill: air
� also argon, krypton, SF6
� several fill methods: timer, sniffer, batch
� lower U-factor (~5% clr; ~10% low-e)
� no effect on SHGC or visible
� problem: long-term diffusion (argon)
� problem: glass deflection
� problem: invisible
Warmer Glass = Thermal ComfortWarmer Glass = Thermal Comfort
� reduced condensation potential
� induced draft
� radiant loss� radiant loss
� asymmetric radiant loss
� ���� discomfort
� So what ?
The Energy RatingThe Energy Rating
� Defined in CSA A440.2, revised in 2004
� ER = [57.76 * SHGC] - [21.9 * U] - [0.54 * L75 /Aw] + 40
= [solar gains] – [transmission losses] – [leakage losses]
Typical values (vinyl casement, insulating spacer, A3 rating):
SHGC U old ER new ERSHGC U old ER new ER
