A new AGC Glasstronics product

!   Buildings account for approximately 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, far ahead of industry and transport.

!   European standards and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent. Passive buildings will become mandatory in the short term.

!   Cost-in-use of a building is directly linked to energy consumptions.

!   Productivity of employees is directly linked to the comfort of the working environment.

As one of the world's leading glassmakers, AGC wanted to offer a new high-tech insulated glazing unit which makes a real difference in terms of the energy efficiency of buildings and the thermal and visual comfort of the people working in buildings.
