PITTSBURGH – PPG Industries announced that SUNGATE® passive low-emissivity (low-e) glass, STARPHIRE ULTRA-CLEAR™ glass and CORAFLON® powder coatings were used on The Tower at PNC Plaza, which opened October 1 in Pittsburgh and is designed to be the world’s greenest office building.
The 33-story skyscraper features an innovative double-skin façade, one of the first of its kind in North America, that is designed to help the building naturally ventilate for more than 40 percent of the year. The inner and outer curtain walls incorporate metal panels finished with Coraflon fluoropolymer powder coating in Gray Mica and Sungate and STARPHIRE® glasses laminated or fabricated into dual insulating glass units (IGUs).
