Configuration Comparison
Overall U-factor values are shown in both SI and IP units. Lower U-factor values indicate lower heat transfer through the evaluated curtain wall assembly.
| Glazing | Configuration | Overall U-Factor W/m²·K | Overall U-Factor Btu/h·ft²·°F | SHGC | VT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dual | Solarban 60 Low-E | 1.82 | 0.32 | 0.36 | 0.63 |
| Dual | Solarban 60 on Energy Advantage Surface 4 | 1.59 | 0.28 | 0.39 | 0.59 |
| Triple | G1 - LoE²-272 + LoE²-272 + i89 42.5 mm total IGU thickness | 0.986 | 0.174 | 0.28 | 0.48 |

Technical notes: Triple-glazed results use a standard 2000 x 2000 mm (78.74 x 78.74 in.) curtain wall size with two 12.7 mm gas spaces filled with 90% argon and 10% air. Modelling was completed December 20, 2024 using THERM 7.8 and WINDOW 7.8 in accordance with ANSI/NFRC 100-2020 and ANSI/NFRC 200-2020 procedures. Results apply to the evaluated configurations and are not direct product-labelling values. Confirm project-specific glazing and certification requirements.
