A new AGC Glasstronics product
! Glasstronics is AGC's new product range, combining the transparency of glass with electronic technology.
! Glasstronics products have been subjected to a range of scientific studies on glass and electronics.
! Glasstronics products offer multiple benefits in terms of appearance, energy efficiency and comfort.
! Some Glasstronics products can be used to optimise a building's energy expenditure. Whether incorporated into a BEMS* module or used independently, this type of glazing is a ZERO-emission environmental solution.
* Building Energy Management System: a computerised system capable of regulating and controlling a building's heating, air conditioning, lighting and other energy-related systems
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.
