Technical FAQs 4

What are the energy requirements for glass production?

The theoretical energy requirements for glass production are endothermic heat for glass reaction, sensible heat for glass heating, and sensible heat for intermittent gases (gases from the glass reaction) (Sardeshpande et al. 2007).

Does a BIPV insulated glass unit save energy?

5. Conclusions A side by side comparative study between a novel BIPV insulated glass unit (IGU) and a Low-E coated reference IGU was conducted on the Facility for Low Energy Experiment in Buildings (FLEXLAB) to fully identify the overall energy performance and energy saving potential of the BIPV IGU under real world conditions.

Are photovoltaic insulated glass units better than low-E insulated glasses?

A comparative study between photovoltaic and low-e insulated glass units were conducted experimentally. The net energy saving potential of the BIPV IGU was identified based on the power, thermal and daylighting performance. BIPV IGU is better than Low-E IGU in reducing discomfort glare.

How does the glass industry meet its energy needs?

The Chinese glass industry meets its energy needs with fuel oil (13.1%), natural gas (15.5%), coal (44.3%), electricity, and other sources (27.1%). On the other hand, the USA and Europe use natural gas as an energy source in the glass industries with a share of 80% and 90%, respectively (Zier et al. 2021).
