Heat-Absorbing GlassGlass incorporating metal particles which absorb solar radiation passing through the glazing; a proportion of this heat is then re-radiated outwards. The total heat transfer through the glass is thus reduced compared with standard glazing. As its operation depends on absorbing the incident radiation, heat-reflecting glass itself heats up, and some of this heat re-radiated into the internal space, which can cause discomfort to people near windows. | |
