Guardian Will Showcase Glass Innovation for Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Design at Greenbuild

November 08, 2012

Guardian ClimaGuard featured in "GreenZone" area AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Guardian Industries will present its comprehensive commercial, residential and interior glass product portfolios at the Greenbuild International Conference & Expo in San Francisco, Calif., Nov. 14-16. Visitors to the Guardian display (Booth No. 1301S) will experience Guardian's commitment to sustainable design, energy efficient products and net zero buildings through the latest innovations in glass products and solutions. An important component of Guardian's Greenbuild presence will be GreenZone, a state-of-the-art, green certified classroom structure presented by Building Design + Construction. The first modular classroom, or "Smart, Academic, Green Environment," will be on display between the North and South Halls of the Moscone Center. As the window glass sponsor, Guardian will feature its ClimaGuard low-E (emissivity) glass in a real-world application. Low-E glass has microscopically thin metallic coatings that work to reduce energy costs by helping to control the climate. Guardian ClimaGuard glass products help save energy while providing enhanced learning and living experiences through daylighting. Inside Greenbuild at Guardian booth 1301S, ClimaGuard HiLightR 802 will demonstrate Guardian's latest advances in glass technology: The residential product combines Guardian ClimaGuard 80/70 low-E glass with the insulating power of ClimaGuard IS-20, boosting thermal performance without sacrificing natural light. Turning the sun's natural warmth into a source of heat is an attractive benefit particularly in northern climates. Joining ClimaGuard will be the anchor of booth 1301S, Guardian SunGuard, with its two newest advanced technology glazings that help achieve net zero buildings – SunGuard PVGU and SunGuard EC. Completing the comprehensive portfolio of Guardian products on display at Greenbuild is Guardian InGlass advanced interior glass, products manufactured within the context of the company's sustainability commitment. A great example is Guardian DiamondGuard . Its scratch-resistant, highly transparent quality combined with its lasting durability make it perfect for interior design applications including tabletops, furniture, wall panel, partitions and mirrors. Guardian DiamondGuard demonstrates sustainability in the built environment because its longer lifecycle minimizes the need for costly replacements. In addition, Guardian InGlass products help projects earn LEED Indoor Environmental Quality Credits by allowing daylighting to penetrate into an interior space. This virtual tour of Guardian Industries at Greenbuild will provide a preview of the contents of booth 1301S.
