Understanding Low-E Coatings discusses the benefits of specifying high performance architectural glass to improve the energy efficiency of buildings while reducing their operating costs and carbon emissions. The course will help learners differentiate between passive and solar control low-E coatings and different glass performance measure. Finally, the course will analyze how low-E coatings can improve energy efficiency and help the project earn LEED credit contributions. 

Learning Objectives:

1. Review the solar energy spectrum and common glass performance measures.
2. Understand manufacturing processes for pyrolytic and magnetron sputter vacuum deposition (MSVD) low-e coatings
3. Review how passive and solar control low-e coatings differ and impact glass performance measures.
4. Understand commercial energy usage, and how low-e coatings can improve energy efficiency and help earn LEED® credit contributions

Learning Units will be provided: Yes (LU/HSW)
