Sustainability
Glass plays a critical role in the energy efficiency of buildings. With Enthermal™ technology, it becomes possible to significantly reduce a building’s environmental impact throughout its entire lifecycle.
- 30% to 35% of total global energy consumption comes from buildings.
- 40% to 50% of a building’s energy loss occurs through windows.
- 25% to 30% of carbon emissions are generated by the building sector.
- Up to 45% reduction in operational carbon through improved thermal performance.
- Embodied carbon emissions of only 4.6 kg/ft², lower than triple glazing while delivering superior thermal performance.
- Extended material lifespan by reducing the need for frequent replacement.
- Reduced overall environmental impact across the building lifecycle.
- 100% recyclable product contributing to a more responsible circular economy.
Profitability and Value
Beyond its thermal performance, Enthermal™ delivers tangible operating cost savings and a significantly stronger return on investment compared to traditional glazing systems.
- Contributes to project eligibility for financial incentive programs (grants) related to sustainable construction and energy efficiency.
- Estimated VIG return on investment between 3 and 10 years.
- Comparable in price to triple glazing while offering substantially superior performance.
- Direct and measurable reductions in heating and cooling costs.
- Transferable 20-year warranty providing security, long-term value, and peace of mind for both owners and property managers.
