PPG Industries’ flat glass business has received $312,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a dynamically responsive infrared (IR) window coating that will block heat in the summer to reduce air-conditioning costs and transmit solar heat in the winter to reduce heating costs.
ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute), Taiwan’s largest and a leading global high-tech research and development institution, has introduced Spray-IT™, an eco-friendly thermal spray coating for use on glass and building material to lower energy costs.
