Glazing Materials Research

Optical Properties of Glazing Materials: Characterization of the optical properties of glazing and shading systems, from the simplest glass sheets and diffusing materials to geometrically complex systems. This information is used for both design and rating of products.

Chromogenics: Dynamic glazing materials, especially electrochromic electrodes are an active area of research for us.

Low-Emittance and Solar Control: Static spectral filters have achieved tremendous commercial success. There is still room for improvement in performance and other characteristics.

Deposition Processes: The process of making coatings is important in itself for producing optimum properties as well as minimizing production costs and energy consumption. Plasma processes are a specialty.
