Victoria Regina Tower in Brussels is embracing a sustainable future with the help of Şişecam’s high-performance solar control glass.

Victoria Regina Tower, an iconic building in the Northern Quarter of Brussels, was originally built as the Belgian headquarters of IBM between 1974 and 1978. This historic building is now being transformed into a hybrid, fossil-free, low-energy structure, with Şişecam Temperable Solar Control Low-E Glass Neutral 62/44 playing a key role.

Şişecam Temperable Solar Control Low-E Glass Neutral 62/44 is designed to improve energy efficiency. This special product reduces the energy need for cooling in summer and heating in winter, keeping the indoor temperature stable. This leads to significant energy savings and helps Victoria Regina Tower achieve its goal of becoming a low-energy building.

The façade design is both attractive and functional. The neutral look of Şişecam Temperable Solar Control Low-E Glass Neutral 62/44 matches the building's modern style and lets in plenty of natural light. This creates bright and welcoming spaces, reducing the need for artificial lighting. The transparency and clarity of the glass creates a productive and pleasant environment for the individuals.
