 The glass industry has made significant progress in this direction. It is possible to apply special kinds of glasses and systems which minimise fossil fuel consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. Some glass applications also uses alternative natural resources to preserve the environment we live in. Selected links introduce systems to be used by environmentally-friendly buildings.

Low-e coating and Argon
This special coating enables solar heat to pass through glass, and at the same time blocks heat from leaving the room. Argon reduces heat loss.
Photovoltaic glass
Why photovoltaic glass was developed, how it is utilised in building and how the technology is used in different countries.
Double skin facades
The space between the two skins functions as a thermal buffer zone, which reduces heat loss and increases passive solar heat.
Insulating glass
Interesting facts on insulating glass and its production.
Recycling
Recycle to save energy and reduce pollution.
