Vacuum Insulating Glass: Sustainable Applications in Green Buildings

In today's era of pursuing sustainable development and environmental protection, green building has become an important trend in the construction industry. As a leader in insulation products, the vacuum insulating glass from Supertech China is playing an increasingly significant role in green building due to its exceptional insulation performance and environmental characteristics. This article will delve into the sustainable applications of Supertech China's vacuum insulating glass in green buildings, emphasizing the unique advantages of its "vacuum super insulation" technology.

Technology and Characteristics of Vacuum Insulating Glass

Supertech China's vacuum insulating glass represents a major breakthrough in insulation technology. Its technical parameters and characteristics include:

• Vacuum seal gap: The vacuum seal gap between the glass panes is typically controlled at 0.5 millimeters, effectively eliminating convective heat transfer. The heat transfer coefficient can be as low as 0.4~0.8 W/㎡·K, achieving the effect of "vacuum super insulation."

• Double or multiple layers of glass panes: Composed of two or more specially treated glass panes, with a thickness range of 6.5 to 24.5 millimeters, meeting various architectural needs.

• High-performance low-emissivity coating: Utilizing single silver (SLE) or double silver (DLE) LOW-E films, the visible light transmittance can reach 40-70%, while reflecting most of the radiant heat, improving thermal efficiency.

• Sound insulation performance: The weighted sound reduction index reaches 36~40 decibels, effectively blocking external noise and enhancing indoor quietness.

• Long lifespan guarantee: With independently developed matching reactive solder alloys and high-efficiency composite alloy getters, combined with a high vacuum process environment and dual seal structure, the product's lifespan is ensured to be over 25 years.

Applications of Vacuum Insulating Glass in Green Buildings

Residential buildings

In residential buildings, vacuum insulating glass minimizes temperature fluctuations, reducing the annual heating and cooling costs. Its "vacuum super insulation" performance significantly reduces heat loss during cold months and minimizes solar heat gain in warm climates. For example, with an outdoor temperature of 35℃ and an indoor temperature of 27℃, daily energy consumption per square meter can be reduced by nearly 80% compared to traditional insulated glass. This not only enhances indoor comfort but also helps save energy, promoting a sustainable lifestyle.

Commercial and office spaces

Commercial buildings and office environments also benefit from the exceptional insulation capabilities of vacuum insulating glass. It creates a more comfortable and efficient working space for employees. Additionally, the improved sound insulation performance of Supertech China's vacuum insulating glass helps create a quieter indoor environment, minimizing external noise interference and improving overall workplace comfort and productivity.

Sustainable building and green building certification

In sustainable buildings, vacuum insulation plays a crucial role in obtaining green building certifications (such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)). By meeting stringent energy performance standards, Supertech China's vacuum insulating glass helps reduce carbon footprints and promotes environmentally responsible building practices.

Renovation and refurbishment projects

Supertech China's vacuum insulation technology offers retrofit solutions for existing buildings seeking to improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort. The retrofit application of vacuum insulating glass allows old structures to upgrade their insulation performance without affecting architectural aesthetics or the utilization of indoor space.
