Vitro Architectural Glass
Aesthetic Description
Solarban® 60 solar control, low-e glass by Vitro Architectural Glass
(formerly PPG Glass) was engineered to control solar heat gain,
which is essential to minimizing cooling costs. In a standard one-inch
insulating glass unit (IGU), Solarban® 60 glass offers an exterior
appearance similar to clear, uncoated glass.
With a very good Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.39,
Solarban® 60 glass blocks 66 percent of the total solar energy while
allowing 70 percent of the visible light to pass through. This combination
produces an excellent Light to Solar Gain (LSG) ratio of 1.79, along with
exceptional insulating performance, as evidenced by its 0.29 winter
nighttime U-value.
Aesthetic Options
Solarban® 60 glass can be coated on Starphire® glass and paired with
Starphire® glass to produce an IGU with exceptional clarity and solar
control characteristics. For even more color and performance options,
it can be coated on the second (#2) surface of nearly all Vitro’s wide
range of tinted glasses. It also can be combined in an IGU with any
Vitro tinted glass, Solarcool® reflective glass or Vistacool® subtly
reflective, color-enhanced glass (see performance data on back page).

Supporting Sustainable Design
Vitro Architectural Glass provides abundant opportunities for
architects and building owners to realize their sustainability
objectives.
Energy Use & Operating Cost Reduction: An energy modeling
study conducted by an independent energy design and consulting
firm showed that a building can potentially save millions of dollars
over its lifetime with Solarban® 60 glass instead of less advanced
glasses. The study showed that by substituting Solarban® 60 glass
instead of dual-pane tinted glass, a typical glass-walled, eight-story
office building in Boston could lower its initial HVAC investment by
nearly $350,000 and its annual energy costs by more than
$80,000. Carbon emissions from the same building also were
reduced by more than 300 tons per year.
Sustainability Documentation: Vitro Architectural Glass is the first
U.S. float glass manufacturer to have its entire selection of products
recognized by the Cradle to Cradle Certified™ program, and the first
in North America to publish third-party verified Environmental
Product Declarations (EPDs) for its Flat Glass and Processed
Glass products.
