“Increased Demand for Energy-Efficient and Sustainable Building Materials”
- One prominent trend in the North America Low-E Glass market is the rising adoption of energy-efficient glazing solutions in both commercial and residential construction due to stricter building energy codes and consumer preference for green buildings.
- Low-E glass helps reduce energy consumption by minimizing heat loss in winter and solar heat gain in summer, improving indoor comfort and lowering HVAC costs
- For instance, U.S. Energy Star certification increasingly mandates the use of high-performance glazing like Low-E coated glass in new construction and retrofitting projects.
- The trend is further supported by growing awareness of carbon footprints and the role of building envelopes in sustainable design
