What is low emissivity glass?
Low emissivity glass, is glass which has had a special coating applied. This coating works to reflect low-wave infrared energy, simply put when warm air in your home tries to escape through the glass of your windows the low emissivity glass will reflect the heat energy back into the room. In the summer this then works in the opposite manner, reflecting heat energy away from your home to keep it cool.
