Solar Energy Glass transmits solar radiation from the sun by three mechanisms: reflection, transmission and absorption, which for solar control purposes are defined in terms of the following parameters: Direct Solar Energy Transmittance (ET) is the proportion of solar radiation at near normal incidence that is transmitted directly through the glass. Solar Energy Reflectance (ER) is the proportion of solar radiation at near normal incidence that is reflected by the glass back into the athmosphere. Solar Energy Absorptance (EA) is the proportion of solar radiation at near normal incidence that is absorbed by the glass. Total Solar Energy Transmittance (TET), also known as g value or solar factor, is the fraction of solar radiation at near normal incidence that is transferred through the glazing by all means. It is composed of the direct transmittance, also known as the short wave component, and the part of the absorptance dissipated inwards by longwave radiation and convection, known as the longwave component. The proportions of the absorbed energy that are dissipated either inside or outside depend on the glazing configuration and the external exposure conditions. Selectivity index S: light to heat ratio (S = LT / TET). The solar control mechanism is illustrated in Figure 1. The solar radiant heat admission properties of glasses can be compared by their shading coefficients.
Glass Handbook 2010
11
The Total Shading Coefficient (TSC) is derived by comparing the properties of any glass with a clear float glass having a total energy transmittance of 0,87 (such a glass would have a thickness of about 3 mm). It comprises a short wavelength and long wavelength shading coefficient. The Short Wavelength Shading Coefficient (SWSC) is the direct energy transmittance divided by 0,87. The Long Wavelength Shading Coefficient (LWSC) is the fraction of the absorptance released inwards, again divided by 0,87. Thermal Insulation Heat loss is quantified by the thermal transmittance or U-value (U). The U-value, usually expressed in S.I. units (Systme Internationale dUnits) of W/mK, is the heat flux density through a given structure divided by the difference in environmental temperatures on either side of the structure in steady state conditions. It is more generally referred to as the rate of loss of heat per square metre, under steady state conditions, for a temperature difference of one Kelvin (or degree Celsius) between the inner and outer environments separated by the glass, or other building element.

Performance data for Pilkington products Performance data given in the following tables has been determined in accordance with European Standards (EN). Data for insulating glass units have been based on 90% argon filling unless otherwise stated, construction based on a 16 mm argon filled cavity, except for triple glazing where the cavities are 12 mm. (Note: U-values should be rounded to the nearest 0,1 in accordance with EN 673) Light and solar energy technical data have been determined in accordance with EN 410. Unless otherwise stated all the calculations are based on 4 mm glass thickness.

1.0 Solar Control
Glass Handbook 2010
15
Solar Control
Solar control is a key issue in terms of energy saving. In hot conditions or for buildings with high internal loads, solar control glass is used to minimise solar heat gain by rejecting solar radiation and help control glare. In more temperate conditions, it can be used to balance solar control with high levels of natural light. The topic of air-conditioning is a major concern to building designers and architects. Often, more energy is used to operate airconditioning systems during the summer months than to heat the building in winter thereby increasing the carbon footprint. It is therefore essential to improve the energy efficiency of buildings during the summer as well as in the winter.
Note: The potential for solar control glass to cut CO emissions from buildings has been analysed by the Dutch scientific institute TNO in a study undertaken for Glass For Europe. The study concludes that between 15 and 80 million tonnes of CO emissions annually - roughly between 5% and 25% of the EU's target - could be saved by the year 2020 by optimal use of solar control glass. Reference: Impact of Solar Control Glazing on energy and CO savings in Europe (TNO Report 2007-D-R0576/B by TNO Built Environment and Geosciences, Delft, The Netherlands). www.glassforeurope.com.
In cold weather conditions, our low-emissivity glass reduces heat loss while allowing high levels of valuable free solar gain to heat buildings without significant loss in natural light. However, unless combined with solar control, in the summer it can become uncomfortably hot. The correct choice of glass can help to reduce the capital outlay, running costs and associated carbon emissions of a building throughout the year.
Given the variety of building designs and climatic conditions and the different levels of exposure to solar radiation during the year, the choice of glass must be able to protect the inside of the building to ensure maximum comfort, minimise energy consumption, guarantee safety and, not least, provide the optical and aesthetic qualities that satisfy the designer.

Solar Control
We are continually innovating and developing products that satisfy the full range of architectural requirements. Over the years we have developed a wide range of energy management solutions for large and small glazed areas on all types of building. Our innovative solar control products cover the whole range:

How it works? Glass controls solar heat radiation by the three mechanisms: reflection, transmission and absorption, which for solar control purposes are defined in terms of the following parameters: Direct transmittance the proportion of solar radiation transmitted directly through the glass. Reflectance the proportion of solar radiation reflected back into the atmosphere. Absorptance the proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the glass. Total transmittance (also known as g value or solar factor) the proportion of solar radiation transmitted through the glass by all means. This is composed of the direct transmittance and that which is absorbed by the glass and reradiated inwards.
In addition to the above ranges our solar control range can be used with many other Pilkington solutions, to achieve countless benefits in terms of safety, functionality and cost-efficiency.
from the highest performing, off-line coated, solar control and low-emissivity products within the Pilkington Suncool range; through on-line environmental control glasses that combine good performance solar control with low-emissivity such as Pilkington Eclipse Advantage; to low-performance, body-tinted glass in the Pilkington Optifloat Tint range; and even to solar control glass combined with the revolutionary, self-cleaning Pilkington Activ.

Further parameters given to glass are as follows: Light transmittance the proportion of the light that is transmitted by the glass. Light reflectance the proportion of the light that is reflected by the glass. Total shading coefficient the ratio between total solar heat transmittance of the glass and that of a single 3 mm thick clear float glass. Shortwave shading coefficient

Pilkington Eclipse Advantage

Pyrolytic on-line coated solar control glass with low-emissivity properties Description A range of good solar control performance pyrolytic on-line coated clear or body-tinted glass, with unique colour appearances, medium light transmittance, low, medium or high light reflectance and lowemissivity. The durable coating is applied pyrolytically during float glass manufacture to a variety of substrates giving a range of colours in reflection Clear, Blue-Green, EverGreen, Bronze, Grey and Arctic Blue. Pilkington Eclipse Advantage can be used in single glazing applications provided that the coating faces the interior of the building. Applications Pilkington Eclipse Advantage provides a versatile and attractive solution to all applications where a brightly coloured glass is needed, with enhanced solar control performance. It is equally suited for all applications, from the small refurbishment to the largest prestige commercial development, where a comparatively low cost but high impact solution is demanded. Where a safety glass is required, Pilkington Eclipse Advantage can be specified as toughened or laminated glass. Due to its high solar heat absorptance, Pilkington Eclipse Advantage may be subject to thermal breakage. The risk of thermal breakage may occur on faades exposed to the sun, and in situations where high temperature differences across the glass pane are expected. In such cases it is advisable to specify toughened or heat strengthened glass. Features and benefits Good solar control performance with some low-emissivity properties, reducing the need for heating and cooling the building. Choice of colours, light transmittance, reflectivity and appearance, providing increased design flexibility. Less heat absorption compared to other tinted reflective glasses, eliminating the need for heat treat vision glass under normal glazing conditions.

Pilkington EverGreen
Tinted solar control glass Description Pilkington EverGreen establishes new standards of quality, aesthetics and performance for green body-tinted glass. Pilkington EverGreen glass offers good solar control characteristics and responds to the demand for high light transmittance without the use of a surface coating. Its solar control properties and colour densities vary with each available thickness so that glass with properties appropriate to a particular application can be chosen. Applications Pilkington EverGreen is ideally suited to climates or conditions where energy costs for cooling are a consideration. Pilkington EverGreen absorbs much of the suns heat and UV rays while still letting through a high level of daylight. Where a safety glass is required, Pilkington EverGreen can be specified as toughened or laminated glass. Due to its high solar heat absorptance, Pilkington EverGreen may be subject to thermal breakage. The risk of thermal breakage may occur on faades exposed to the sun, and in situations where high temperature differences across the glass pane are expected. In such cases it is advisable to specify toughened or heat strengthened glass. Features and benefits Improved solar control performance compared to traditional tinted float glass, reducing the need for air-conditioning. Solar control performance and colour density vary with the thickness. Refreshing soft green colour, offering a crisp, clean view of the outside. High daylight transmittance, reducing the need for artificial lighting. Low internal and external reflection. Low UV transmittance. Additional thermal insulation performance when combined in an insulating glass unit with a low-emissivity glass.
38
www.pilkington.com

Easy to handle and process. Can be laminated, toughened, bent and enamelled using standard techniques. Can be used in monolithic form or incorporated in insulating glass units, and has an unlimited shelf-life. Available in 6 mm thickness. Satisfies the requirements for harmonised European Norm EN 572.

Pilkington Optifloat Tint

Body tinted solar control glass Description A range of low solar control performance uncoated body-tinted glass, with low light reflection and high energy absorption. Please note that in all body-tinted glass products, the properties and colour density vary with the thickness; this needs to be considered when designing faades where colour uniformity is aesthetically important. All of the body-tinted glasses can be toughened or laminated and/or incorporated into insulating glass units. Applications Pilkington Optifloat Tint glass products can be used wherever a coloured glass without surface coating is required for visual appeal or where a degree of solar control performance is necessary to improve or control the internal environment of the building. Where a safety glass is required, they can be specified as toughened or laminated glass. Due to its high solar heat absorptance, Pilkington Optifloat Tint may be subject to thermal breakage. The risk of thermal breakage may occur on faades exposed to the sun, and in situations where high temperature differences across the glass pane are expected. In such cases it is advisable to specify toughened or heat strengthened glass. Designed to improve conditions within buildings by reducing glare, solar radiation and heat transfer into the building, they also reduce UV radiation and offer improved privacy, when compared with clear glass. Features and benefits Solar control performance, reducing the need for air-conditioning. Solar control performance and colour density vary with the thickness. Available in a choice of colours (Green, Blue-Green, Bronze and Grey), offering flexibility for original and innovative architectural design even where low reflection is required. Subdued colour range, complementing other building materials and natural surroundings.
42

2.0 Thermal Insulation
Glass Handbook 2010
77
Thermal Insulation
Low-emissivity Advances in low-emissivity (low-e) glass technology have made windows an essential contributor to energy conservation and comfort, minimising heat loss and internal condensation. The measure of heat loss is usually expressed in terms of U-value, which is the rate of heat loss in Watts per square metre per degree Kelvin temperature difference between inside and outside (expressed as W/mK). The lower the U-value, the better the insulation of the product. How it works Effectively, low-emissivity glass will reflect energy back into a building, to achieve much lower heat loss than ordinary float glass. Additionally, different types of low-emissivity glass allow different amounts of passive solar heat gain which helps reduce heating requirements and costs, especially in colder months.

78
www.pilkington.com
Thermal Insulation
Solar energy enters the building mainly as shortwave radiation but, once inside, it is reflected back by objects towards the glass as longwave radiation. Low-emissivity glass has a coating that allows the transmission of the suns shortwave radiation at a much higher rate than longwave radiation (from the heaters, electrical equipment and occupants in the room), providing an effective barrier to heat loss.
Note: The potential for low-e glass (double and triple glazing) to cut CO emissions from new and existing buildings has been analysed by the Dutch scientific institute TNO in a study undertaken for Glass For Europe. Up to 90 million tonnes of CO emissions could be saved annually by 2020 if all Europes buildings (existing and new residential and non-residential buildings) were fitted with double-glazed low-e insulating glass units. An additional 7 million tonnes of CO emissions could be cut thanks to the greater use of triple-glazed low-e insulating glass units for new buildings, where appropriate. Reference: Potential impact of Low-Emissivity Glazing on energy and CO savings in Europe (TNO Report 2008-DR1240/B by TNO Built Environment and Geosciences, Delft, The Netherlands). www.glassforeurope.com.
To maximise energy efficiency all year round, often the ideal glazing solution balances both solar control and low-emissivity performance. Our products offer two ways in which this can be achieved:

by applying a single product which provides both solar control and low-emissivity in an insulating glass unit, by using both a solar control product and a separate low-emissivity product within an insulating glass unit.
Our low-emissivity range covers all levels of requirements:

from on-line products such as Pilkington K Glass, to extremely low U-value off-line solutions in the Pilkington Optitherm range, through to Pilkington Suncool Pilkington Solar-E and Pilkington Eclipse Advantage which provide both low-emissivity and solar control properties in a single product.

Pilkington K Glass
Pyrolytic on-line coated low-emissivity glass Description Pilkington K Glass is a durable, pyrolytic on-line coated, neutral coloured, low-emissivity glass, with high solar gain, which provides improved thermal insulation to multiple-glazed windows so reducing condensation and maximising comfort. A specially formulated, permanent, transparent low-emissivity coating is applied pyrolytically to one surface of clear float glass during glass manufacture. The coating allows the free shortwave energy from the sun to enter the building, but acts as a barrier to the escape of expensive longwave energy from internal heat sources. Applications Extremely versatile, Pilkington K Glass is recommended for new buildings and renovations/modernisations where high solar heat gain is beneficial. Features and benefits Substantially improved thermal insulation compared to conventional double glazing; U-value of 1,5 W/m2K in 4-16-4 standard constructions with argon (90%), reducing the need for heating the building. High solar heat gain offering overall energy saving performance. Substantially reduced condensation. High light transmission, reducing the need for lighting the building. Neutral colour in transmission and reflection. Can be combined with a body-tinted or reflective solar control glass in an insulating glass unit to provide both thermal insulation and solar control. Durable pyrolytic on-line coating easy to handle and process, providing low cost solution with high visual impact. Can be laminated, toughened and bent using standard techniques. Can be used in monolithic form or incorporated in insulating glass units, and has unlimited shelf-life. No edge deletion required. Available in 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm.

Pilkington Optitherm
Off-line coated high performance low-emissivity glass Description Pilkington Optitherm S1 and Pilkington Optitherm S3 are high quality clear glasses with specially formulated off-line lowemissivity coatings applied to one surface after glass manufacture. The effect of the low-emissivity coating is to reflect the long wavelength energy (generated by heating systems, lighting and building occupants) back into the building. However, the transparent coating still permits the transmission of short wavelength energy originating from the sun. This solar energy is absorbed by the internal surfaces of the building and re-radiated at the longer wavelengths that are then reflected by the coating into the building. The visual appearance of Pilkington Optitherm S1 and Pilkington Optitherm S3 is almost identical to that of ordinary clear glass. As the coating is transparent and neutral in colour, its effect on light transmission and reflection is barely perceptible. Applications Pilkington Optitherm S1 and Pilkington Optitherm S3 can only be used in insulating glass units. They are popular lowemissivity glasses because of their neutral colours, their high light transmissions and their excellent thermal insulation characteristics. They can be used from the smallest installation to the most prestigious curtain walling applications anywhere where there is concern for reduced energy consumption and heat loss. Pilkington Optitherm S1 has a higher performance lowemissivity coating than Pilkington Optitherm S3, to further reduce heat loss through the unit for more demanding applications. Available in 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm thicknesses, they are often used in combination with other environmental control glasses. Pilkington Optitherm S1 and Pilkington Optitherm S3 cannot be toughened or laminated after coating. However, where a safety glass is required, the coatings can be applied to toughened or laminated glass. For safety applications, Pilkington offers Pilkington Optitherm S3 Pro T. This glass has to be toughened and its colour is matched to Pilkington Optitherm S3. After toughening the product has similar technical performance to Pilkington Optitherm S3.
Glass Handbook 2010

3.0 Fire Protection
Glass Handbook 2010
91
Fire Protection
The wide range of modern functional glazings now available has opened up remarkable scope for creative design in today's architecture. Transparent design from faades and roofs right through to the centre of the building is no longer a vision, it is reality. State-of-the-art glazing can now be used in high performance designs to provide a protected, yet comfortable and versatile building environment, founded on daylighting, brightness and clear vision, replacing solid roofs, doors and partitions which block out views and natural light. Our fire protection range of products, Pilkington Pyrostop and Pilkington Pyrodur, combine fire resistance and design flexibility, for peace of mind, elegant and functional buildings. New and existing buildings according to regulations in force should provide suitable level of fire safety. The ordinary clear float glass widely used in buildings is not resistant to fire at all. It breaks at temperature difference equal to about T 40C. Ordinary laminated safety glass is also not resistant to fire the glass breaks as quickly as clear float. Furthermore, at temperature of about 250C, when the PVB foil melts and fails to retain the glass fragments, the glass collapses. Whilst standard toughened glass is more resistant to high temperatures, it generally cannot survive temperatures higher than about 300-350C.

Fire Protection
That is why it was necessary to introduce products that could withstand typical temperature of fire of 1000C, and additionally in the event of fire, would be able to give people the maximum amount of time for safe escape. Pilkington Pyrostop and Pilkington Pyrodur meet these criteria.
Radiation (class W) The ability of the element of construction to reduce the probability of transmission of fire as a result of significant radiated heat, either through the element or from its unexposed surface to adjacent materials on the non-fire side.
Glass Handbook 2010
Insulation (class I) The ability of glazed screens or doors to limit the temperature rise on the non-fire side to an average of no more than 140C and in any one position by no more than 180C.
Definitions: Integrity (class E) The ability of the system to keep back flames, smoke and hot gases. No flaming on the non-fire side is permitted within the approved time classification.
Pilkington Pyrostop and Pilkington Pyrodur have been tested in more fire doors, fire protection framing and faade systems than any other fire-resistant glass product, covering vertical, horizontal and inclined glazing situations.
Pilkington Pyrostop and Pilkington Pyrodur are clear, multilayered fire resistant glasses made of clear or extra clear float glass (Pilkington Optifloat, Pilkington Optiwhite), laminated with transparent intumescent interlayer. When exposed to fire, the pane facing the flames fractures but remains in place, and the interlayer immediately foams up to form a thick, resilient and tough insulating shield that absorbs the energy of the blaze. This takes place at only modest temperatures around 120C, such that protection is provided right from the early stages of a fire. The resilient sandwich structure of Pilkington Pyrostop and Pilkington Pyrodur ensures that they stay in place and continue to act as an insulating fire-resistant wall for the required time periods, as defined in the standard approvals tests.

Noise Control
Introduction It could be a Sunday afternoon when you are indoors reading a good book, you could be tucked up in bed at night or seated at work trying to concentrate when you are disturbed by noisy neighbours, traffic or a variety of other unwanted noise. We all suffer from the intrusion of noise at some time or another. With an increasing population density, factory production and transport, the noise seems to get worse with fewer opportunities to escape. Along with the increase in noise is a growing awareness of the effect on health due to the stress caused by everyday sounds intruding into once quiet environments. The trend for the future suggests that traffic and noise in general is going to get worse as living space declines. There is an increasing interest in ways to protect people from noise to avoid the considerable stress that it causes and in some cases serious illness. A considerable amount of work has been done to control noise intrusion into a building and between adjoining areas, and whilst this is valuable we want to concentrate on the contribution that the careful selection of glass has to offer in managing the problem.
Figure 1: Sound spreads out in a similar manner to waves in water.

Noise Control
What is sound? From a physical point of view, sound belongs in the field of wave physics / mechanical oscillations. Even 2000 years ago, a Roman architect engaged in the construction of amphitheatres used waves in water to improve his design. For example, if we strike a tuning fork, we can hear the oscillations, but we cannot see them. These oscillations of the tuning fork are transmitted to air molecules, which then pass on their oscillations to other air molecules. This behaviour can be demonstrated in water. These oscillations are comparable to a wave in water, with the height of the wave being a measure of the volume of sound and the number of waves in time is the frequency of the sound i.e. the more waves, the higher the frequency. Frequency is defined as cycles per second or Hertz. Hertz is the correct way to describe the frequency or pitch of the sounds and is abbreviated to Hz.
Definition of frequency
Sound pressure
Number of oscillations
Time in seconds
Figure 2: Definition of frequency.
In music, the note A (nearest A above middle C) has a frequency of 440 Hz or oscillations per second in concert tuning. If the frequency is doubled to 880 Hz, the note increases by an octave for equal tempered tuning. The human ear of a young person can detect frequencies of 20 Hz up to 20,000 Hz and is capable of detecting sound pressures, or to be more precise pressure fluctuations, of between 10-5 Pascals (Pa) = 0,00001 (lower limit of hearing) and 102 Pa = 100 Pa (pain threshold)

by passing these on to the brain as a sensation of volume. With increased age the range of audible frequency diminishes from both ends of the scale naturally or from hearing damage. The relationship between the quietest and the loudest noise is a ratio of 1 to 10 million. Since this is very unwieldy, in practice the soundpressure level, or sound level L for short, is expressed as a logarithmic scale which represents a conversion of the sound pressure into a more convenient measure known as the decibel scale (dB). The normal range extends from 0 dB (hearing threshold) to around 130 dB (pain threshold). Figure 3 shows a few examples.

Figure 3: Noise source and perception (source: Kuraray, Troisdorf).
There are a variety of ways of creating noise and each noise can produce different volumes of sound at different frequencies. If we use aircraft as an example there is a clear difference in the sound made by propeller driven aircraft, modern fan jets and military aircraft. If the volume by frequency is plotted as a graph they would look distinctly different. When trying to defeat noise these variations can be taken into account and different glass types also work better at some frequencies than others. By matching the performance of the glass to the noise we can selectively reduce the most annoying

sounds to get the maximum benefit. Anyone living next to a private airstrip with light aircraft has a very different problem to a neighbour of a military base. The solution to the noise problem will be to use a different glass configuration. Determining the noise level can be done in a number of ways. For large or difficult projects a site noise survey can be commissioned using acoustic consultants who use sensitive equipment to measure and average noise levels by frequency over a period. These surveys give precise data on the volume of noise at each frequency that needs to be attenuated. The information is often provided in reports that break the noise down into a table showing octave frequencies, e.g.:
Frequency [Hz] Sound pressure [dB] 125 30 250 36 500 42 1000 44 2000 48 4000 50
4
The sound can be measured at the site, close to the noise source or a distance in between. Where site data is not provided an adjustment can be made to the sound to allow for distance. The further you are away from the source the less impact it has.
Example: Decay of noise with distance. Road traffic noise decreases by approximately 3 dB with doubling of distance at right angles to the road. If, for example, L is the dB noise level at 5 meters, then the decay follows the pattern:
5m 10 m 20 m 40 m 80 m 160 m
L (L-3) (L-6) (L-9) (L-12) (L-15)
dB dB dB dB dB dB
The noise level is often measured over a period and averaged to remove the disproportionate effect of isolated loud noise that is exceptional like a car horn sounding. A level of noise energy can be determined that is an A weighted long term average called the dayevening-night level (Lden). It is the Lden noise level that should be the basis of the design rather than isolated peaks in sound. Therefore
Glass Handbook 2010
113
Noise Control
the aim of the design should be to control the general noise rather than exceptions otherwise the noise reduction criteria would become extreme. For some applications it may be appropriate to use only part of the three periods or a supplementary noise indicator for noise that only occurs for a short period of time. There is sometimes an option with noise measuring equipment to record the data with an A weighting. Where interior noise limits are set they are often expressed in dB (A) lub LAeq. The A weighting is an adjustment to the noise at each frequency that follows a standardised curve. The A weighting is a recognition that the human ear does not react to the same volume at each frequency equally i.e. some frequencies seem louder than others even though they are being delivered with the same energy. It is important that the human reaction to noise is considered rather than making decisions based upon the sensitive instruments that measure sound in an absolute way. Where a survey is not carried out then there are examples of previous surveys that allow designers to assume typical noise levels from common sources of noise e.g. road traffic, music, speech, trains, aircraft etc. Where third octave or octave band information is not provided there are a range of shorthand expressions used for the noise, typically the RW and Rtra figures may be used to abbreviate the information. For glass performance the abbreviations are determined by taking plots on a graph of the sound attenuation by frequency and mathematically comparing standard curves to then until they are a good fit. The noise reduction at a fixed frequency on the standard curves provides the RW and Rtra figures. When the noise level is known the performance of the glass can be matched to get the required level of residual noise. It is important that the indices of measurement are matched or in the same scale to ensure that the calculation is correct.

reference curve specified in EN 717 Section 4 is shown in red. This reference curve is now moved downwards in whole dB increments, until the sum of the deviations of the measured values from the shifted reference curve is maximised and less than 32 dB. Only those measured values that are less than the reference values are taken into account. The y-value of this shifted reference curve (green curve in Fig. 4) at a frequency of 500 Hz is the sought RW-value, in this example 45 dB. Unfortunately, the above-mentioned relationship between the sound-pressure amplitude and the perceived volume is not as simple as scientists would like it to be because nature has made our hearing more sensitive to certain ranges than to others. This means that we perceive a thousand Hz tone as louder than a hundred Hz tone, even though the volume is the same. This property of the human ear is taken into account in the shape of the reference curve.

standardised conditions. As we see, sound insulation is very frequency-dependent. To avoid having to work with the complete data set this diagram can be reduced to a single value. The standardised procedure is described in the box below. The result is a single number in this case RW = 45 dB which can be used in further calculations. The disadvantage of such a single-value specification is that we can arrive at the same result with completely different curve shapes, as shown in Figure 5. We achieve more expressive single-value specifications if we use custom-made reference curves for specific requirements.

Such special cases are C and Ctr. They take into account the different frequency spectra of residential and traffic noises and thus make it possible to find adequate solutions to the problems in question in a simple manner. The C-value takes into account the noise sources: residential activities (talking, music, radio, TV), children playing, rail traffic at average and high speed,
116
www.pilkington.com
Noise Control

motorway traffic > 80 km/h (50 mph), jet aeroplanes a short distance away, businesses that emit primarily medium- and high-frequency noise.
The Ctr-value takes into account noise sources such as: urban road traffic, low speed rail traffic, propeller aeroplanes, jet aeroplanes a long distance away, disco music, businesses that emit primarily low- and medium-frequency noise.
Thus, if the planned building is located in a city, right by a main road, the Ctr value is the most suitable. If a building is planned right next to a motorway, the C value is more appropriate. Calculation rules Although the use of the dB scale facilitates nice convenient numbers, it also gives rise to somewhat unusual calculation rules. If a noise source is duplicated then the overall dB value rises by only 3 dB. A ten-fold increase i.e. ten electric fans instead of one, leads to an increase of only twice as much noise i.e. 10 dB. To complete the explanation, we should also mention that a halving of the noise level at the ear is not recognised as a halving of the volume. In general it is true that:

a difference of 1 dB is not practically noticeable, a difference of 3 dB is just perceptible, a difference of 5 dB represents a clear difference, a difference of 10 dB halves / doubles the noise.
The different types of sound insulation Mass As mentioned above, sound spreads in waves by exciting the molecules of the medium in question so that they oscillate. Due to this means of transmission, the noise is subject to a natural damping depending upon the mass in question. Expressed
Glass Handbook 2010
117
Noise Control
simply: the more mass put between transmitter and receiver, the greater the damping. The simplest way of increasing the sound insulation of glass is therefore to use a lot of glass. Thus a 12 mm single pane has an RW value of 34 dB, whereas the corresponding value for a 4 mm pane is only 29 dB.

Figure 6: Influence of the pane thickness on the coincidence frequency.
Coincident frequency and asymmetry If we compare the spectra of 4 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm float glass, we see that each of these spectra has a downturn in the right-hand section. This fall off in performance at certain frequencies or coincident frequencies occurs at the frequency that matches the natural resonant frequency for the product. The so-called coincident frequency fg is material specific and dependent upon thickness for glass. As a rule of thumb:
(where d = thickness of material)
118

Noise Control
According to this formula, fg is 3000 Hz for 4 mm float glass, 1500 Hz for 8 mm float glass and 1000 Hz for 12 mm float glass, which corresponds very well with the spectra in Figure 6. To overcome this we can mix the thicknesses of glass panes in an insulating unit structure so that when one pane is at its coincident frequency the other is not and continues to defeat the sound. Such asymmetric structures can thus significantly reduce the downturn in the coincidence range, as shown in Figure 7. A 30% difference in thickness is desirable. Not only does this reduce the dip but it also shifts it up the scale which is beneficial as the higher the frequency, the more effective the glass becomes at reducing the overall noise level.

Gap between panes / gas fillings Another method for controlling the transmission of noise is to vary the distance between the panes of glass. With conventional insulating glass units the gap between the panes is limited to maintain the optimal thermal performance and the size ofthe gap is not large enough to significantly improve the acoustic performance. With secondary glazing there is an opportunity to have relatively large gaps and an airspace of over 60 mm starts to provide real improvements in performance. The space between the panes can also be lined with acoustic tiles to enhance the benefit.
Glass Handbook 2010
119
Noise Control
Gas filling the space between panes of an IGU has a marginal effect and there is no practical improvement in using argon gas. Due to the density of krypton a small benefit can be gained in acoustic performance of up to 1 dB. Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) could be used for sound insulation simply because it is so heavy, however, this gas has two disadvantages. Firstly it worsens the thermal insulation value and secondly this gas has a CO2 equivalent of 22.800 and thus makes an extremely large contribution to the greenhouse effect. For these two reasons, the use of SF6 gas is banned throughout large parts of Europe. Decoupling / damping We have said that the thickness of glass helps and varying the glass thicknesses in an insulating unit is a useful method of improving noise reduction. Adding mass to the product or having large air gaps may also be undesirable for reasons of weight and space. Fortunately there are ways of improving the noise reduction of relatively thin panes of glass by introducing a damping effect within the glass. By laminating the glass with ordinary PVB interlayer we can reduce the fall off in performance due to the coincident frequency and shift the frequency at which the downturn occurs. Adding a Pilkington Optilam product to the construction can have a marked improvement particularly where the noise level would be high at the coincident frequency for a monolithic glass. Insulating glass units can provide very good results with a mixture of monolithic (Pilkington Optifloat) and Pilkington Optilam glass types. For higher specification requirements there is Pilkington Optiphon. These products use special interlayers in a laminate that further decouple the two panes of glass whilst still providing the impact safety of laminated glass. If you look at the curve profile for Pilkington Optiphon you will see that the fall off in performance at what would have been a coincident frequency is almost eliminated. The correct grade of product can be chosen to match the sound profile to allow superior performance without dramatically increasing the glass thickness. This allows for greater flexibility in design without compromising other glazing functions. In the left-hand part of the spectra (Fig. 7) we see a further downturn. This is the so-called resonant frequency. This is the
120
www.pilkington.com
Noise Control
frequency at which the component as a whole oscillates in resonance and thus transports the sound oscillations particularly well and insulates poorly. The sound insulation can be improved by moving the resonant frequency of the component to another frequency (away from the nuisance frequency or to where the human ear can hear less well). This is achieved by decoupling the insulating glass unit, by making a pane of glass at the same time dense and soft. This can be achieved by joining two panes of glass either with special (soft) cast-in-place resins or with modern PVB interlayers developed specially for this application. Important reminder The object of selecting the right acoustic product is to make the internal environment comfortable and free from the stress associated with noise intrusion. The level of residual noise is not the same for all locations and national guidelines are produced for most environments. For instance, the background noise in a library should be around 30 dB. Zero noise is undesirable and tends only to be found in an echoic chambers usually reserved for testing. Zero noise can be an eerie experience as the ear tunes to other sounds that become distracting. The equation as a first guide becomes: Noise Source building attenuation = residual noise Note that the whole building needs to work and that glass alone will not solve all acoustic problems. Sound only needs a small entry way to get into a building unlike heat loss or gain, which tends to be proportional to the surface area. For a noise reduction of up to 35 dB provided by the glass the window frame without a ventilator should provide similar performance. Above this level, windows developed for noise reduction need to keep pace with the glass performance to ensure the combined product is functioning.
Glass Handbook 2010
121
Noise Control
To sum up There are five factors that can be combined, which can positively influence the sound insulation of an insulating glass unit. 1. Glass mass. 2. Asymmetric structure. 3. Large gap between panes. 4. Use of alternative gases. 5. Use of Pilkington Optiphon special laminated safety glasses or Cast In Place (CIP) products. For the higher sound insulation requirements, modern sound insulating laminated safety glass products such as Pilkington Optiphon, are becoming increasingly prevalent in comparison to the cast-in-place resin products because RW values of even more than 50 dB can be achieved and they can be supplied in large sizes. The compatibility of PVB with other materials is well understood and safety benefits such as impact protection / safer overhead glazing can also be achieved.

Pilkington Insulight Phon

Insulating glass units with improved sound insulation With increasing traffic on the road, rail and in the air, noise insulation has become a very important topic. It is not a question of it being a luxury anymore it is essential that noise reduction is considered in the specification of the glazing. Pilkington Insulight Phon is a proven and tested solution to the problem of noise control. The enhanced sound insulation of Pilkington Insulight Phon insulating glass units is made possible through the use of: panes of varied thickness a 30 percent difference in thickness is recommended, e.g. 6 mm and 10 mm; Pilkington Optilam , laminated glass, which is produced by combining two or more glass sheets with one or more PVB interlayers; Pilkington Optiphon glass: laminated, sound absorbing glass with high acoustic insulation, which uses special foil to yield excellent noise attenuation parameters. All above mentioned products can be combined with other functional products such as low-emissivity glass for improved thermal insulation or solar control glass for better solar control performance.

Safety / Security
Demanding safety legislation has highlighted the critical areas where modern safety glazing must comply with the relevant safety requirements. Innovations in the development of Safety/Security glass has opened up new avenues of design, which allows people to be protected from personal injury and, in the most extreme cases, protect buildings from various forms of attack.
Using only the right type of glass is not enough to secure the necessary resistance to the severe loads. The glass, once impacted, behaves differently in different framing systems, it is therefore imperative to combine high performance glazing with high performance framing systems.
The term Safety is applied to glazing used to reduce the risk of accident by impact, fracture, shattering, or in a fire. The term Security is applied to glazing, which in addition to Safety, is able to withstand a variety of deliberate attacks such as physical, armed or blast.
Although Safety and Security are closely linked topics, it is important to understand the distinction between the two terms, to ensure the right glass is specified.
What does Safety and Security mean?
With this in mind, we have developed a wide range of sophisticated products, in order to meet these ever increasing demands, without compromising on design criteria of natural light and visibility. We are always at the forefront in further developing the products and the industry standards, so that personal accident and serious injuries resulting from glass impact are further prevented or minimized.

Safety / Security
The standards EN 12600 Glass in building Pendulum test Impact test method and classification for flat glass The pendulum impact test is the standard for classifying flat glass products by performance under impact and by mode of breakage. Similar in principle to previously used swing bag tests, EN 12600 utilises a dual rubber tyre impactor to strike the glass at three drop heights. The classifications are summarised below.
Classification 3 2 1 Mode of breakage types A, B, C A, B, C A, B, C Drop height [mm] 190 450 1200
The classification has three components:

The first is the class (i.e. 1, 2 or 3) at which the glass has either not broken or broken safely. The second is the mode of breakage defined as: Type A: numerous cracks appear forming separate fragments with sharp edges, some of which are large typical of annealed glass. Type B: numerous cracks appear, but the fragments hold together and do not separate typical of laminated safety glass. Type C: disintegration occurs, leading to a large number of small particles that are relatively harmless typical of toughened glass. The third is the highest drop height (i.e. 1, 2 or 3) at which the product did not break (e.g. for toughened glass) or where it broke, but no shear or opening bigger than 76 mm in diameter appeared.

EN 1063 Glass in building Security glazing Testing and classification of resistance against bullet attack This specifies performance requirements and test methods for the classification of bullet resistant glass, based on attack by handguns, rifles and shotguns. The test consists of 3 shots fired on the vertices of a 100 mm equilateral triangle glass sample with a weapon corresponding to the required class. If the glass sample has not been pierced by the shots then the required class is achieved. Behind the glass sample is an aluminium witness sheet. If after the shots have been fired there are some perforations on it, then the resistance class must have the suffix S (splinters), otherwise it is classified NS (no splinters). These classes of resistance are summarised below.

Pilkington Optilam (safety glass)

Description Pilkington Optilam is a laminated safety glass which consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together by heat and pressure with one or more sheets of flexible PVB (polyvinylbutyral) interlayer, sandwiched permanently between the glasses. The interlayers ensure the integrity of the glass, by holding the broken pieces in place should damage occur. In fact, glass fragments adhere strongly to the interlayer, while the resistant cushioning effect dissipates the energy. The performance of Pilkington Optilam can be influenced simply by changing the number and thickness of each layer of glass and PVB interlayer. By doing this, we can offer a wide range of products suitable for many applications.
Applications Pilkington Optilam offers the specifier a wide choice of products fulfilling a multitude of functional requirements. For a given application, Pilkington Optilam can be specified to offer one or more of the following attributes: safety, security, noise control, solar control, bullet resistance, blast resistance, UV screening, privacy or decoration. The manufacturing method allows a wide variety of styles, shapes, colours and glass types to be incorporated.

Pilkington Szk#o Hartowane Bezpieczne Pilkington Toughened Safety Glass

Description Pilkington Toughened Safety Glass is manufactured by subjecting the final glass size to a heating and cooling treatment which sets up high compressive stresses at the surface and balancing tensile stresses in the centre of the glass, which increases glass strength. The high compressive surface stresses give Pilkington Toughened Safety Glass its increased resistance to mechanical and thermal stresses. It can, however, break under extreme loads or by severe impact. When broken, Pilkington Toughened Safety Glass shatters into small, blunt-edged fragments, reducing the risk of personal injury. Most Pilkington glass is available in toughened form. Applications Pilkington Toughened Safety Glass provides an economical and proven solution in any areas of particular hazard where national standards or Codes of Practice specifically require the use of safety glazing material. Pilkington Toughened Safety Glass can be used, for example, along passageways and areas of high pedestrian traffic, in doors and adjacent panels, shower and bath enclosures, balconies, barriers, staircases and other structural glazing applications. It can be used to provide uninterrupted single or double glazed cladding for the whole building. Other applications include frameless shop fronts and entrances, internal partitions, furniture, canopies gymnasiums and sports arenas. Features and benefits Achieves up to Class 1(C)1 according to EN 12600, dependent upon glass type and thickness. Up to 3-4 times stronger than ordinary glass of the same thickness, offering a proven solution to safety and strength concerns. Can be heat soaked for extra confidence in use. When broken, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, reducing the risk of personal injury. Reduces the risk of thermal stress breakage of glass exposed to solar radiation. Conforms to all the requirements of EN 12150-1 and is CE marked in accordance with EN 12150-2. Available in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses.

6.0 Self-cleaning
Glass Handbook 2010

Self-cleaning
Pilkington made a significant step in the glass industry with the development of Pilkington Activ the first dual-action self-cleaning glass. The unique dual-action of the Pilkington Activ coating uses the forces of nature to help keep the glass free from dirt, giving not only the practical benefit of less cleaning, but also clearer, betterlooking windows. The Pilkington Activ coating, located on surface #1 of the glass, works in two stages. Firstly, it reacts with natural daylight to break down and loosen organic dirt. Secondly, when it rains, instead of forming droplets, the water spreads evenly over the surface of the glass, forming a thin film and helping to wash any dirt away, preventing the formation of drying spots and streaks, and helping the glass to dry very quickly. In installations where condensation is a problem, it reduces its visibility and helps it to evaporate more quickly. The Pilkington Activ coating works also on cloudy days and during the night. During dry spells the glass can be cleaned by simply hosing it down. Glass used today in commercial buildings and offices, has to provide multiple functions. A technical profile of large glazed areas must meet requirements related to solar control, thermal insulation and noise control, as well as strict safety regulations. These requirements can now be combined with self-cleaning properties. Availability of dual coated products and laminating possibilities allow the manufacture of the glass products that ensure aesthetics, safety, comfort and cost-effective operation of modern buildings, allowing best cost effective management of buildings. Dual coating technology is used to combine self-cleaning and solar control properties in one product, ensuring a highly cost effective glass combination. Pilkington Activ Suncool is manufactured with a Pilkington Activ coating on the outside (i.e. on surface 1) and a Pilkington Suncool coating on the inside (i.e. coating on surface 2). It is used in insulating glass units to enable cost effective building management literally from both sides.

Self-cleaning
In the commercial sector the glass often needs to provide additional protection features. To meet these requirements, Pilkington offers two product lines of laminated safety glass. Using laminated Pilkington Activ glass for faade elements and on glazed roof and sloping areas which are difficult to access, both safety and selfcleaning can be assured. The same applies to the combination of the self-cleaning properties with noise control of the faade. Functional glass, such as Pilkington Activ Optiphon allows a significant decrease in costs of window cleaning, and at the same time, it has an increased sound reduction index (Rw). Pilkington Optitherm S3 low-emissivity coating, usually used on surface #3 in insulating glass units, is sometimes difficult or impossible to apply on some glass types. However, dual coated Pilkington Activ Optitherm S3 provides self-cleaning and good thermal insulation for insulating glass units with thick bulletresistant or textured glass.
Function Self-cleaning Product and combination Pilkington Activ monolithic, single-coated, used as single or in insulating glass units. Pilkington Activ Suncool monolithic, dual-coated, used in insulating glass units. Pilkington Activ Optilam laminated safety glass, coated, used as single or in insulating glass units. Pilkington Activ Optiphon sound insulating laminated safety glass, coated, used as single or in insulating glass units. Pilkington Activ Optitherm S3 monolithic, dual-coated, used in insulating glass units.

Pilkington Activ Suncool is a range of dual coated products incorporating self-cleaning, solar control and thermal insulation properties. The external self-cleaning coating breaks down the organic dirt, and rain water washes any loosened dirt away. The internal solar control and low-emissivity coating reflects short wavelength solar radiation out of the building, as well as long wavelength heat radiation (generated by heating systems, lighting and buildings occupants) back into the building. Pilkington Activ Suncool effectively reduces solar heat gain, at the same time providing high level of light transmittance and aesthetic appearance. We have developed a range of Pilkington Spandrel Glass products for use with Pilkington Activ Suncool solar control glass to ensure continuity in the aesthetic design of faades. Pilkington Spandrel Glass Coated is available in thicknesses 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm in toughened form. Maximum size of such spandrels is 2500 x 4500 mm.

Glass Systems
Glass can be used to create building interiors which connect occupants with the external environment, combining unbroken views of the surrounding nature and high level of natural light with the comfort and safety of the internal environment. This section present two of our attractive and practical glass systems, which will allow you, for example, to transform yards into cosy interiors, enclose private and public outdoor areas under glass roofs and build stunning glass faades. Our two major glass systems, Pilkington Planar and Pilkington Profilit are developed for use in glass faades, walls or roofs, and also for internal glazing applications. Our Pilkington specialists and accredited installers can provide all the support that architects and designers require during their planning and design process.

www.pilkington.com
Pilkington Planar
The ultimate structural glazing system Description A structural glazing system that provides a flush glass surface, by utilising stainless steel fittings housed in countersunk holes to fix the glass faade back to the structure, instead of using the more conventional framed systems. The result is a fully engineered system with the minimum of structure and the maximum visual clarity. The exterior glass used in all Pilkington Planar systems is normally 10, 12, 15 or 19 mm thick Pilkington Optifloat heat soaked toughened glass. A silicone seal between adjacent panels provides weatherproofing. Pilkington has been at the forefront of structural glass testing and design for over 40 years. The fixture holes are a critical feature, subject to constant investigation and testing because of the stresses induced locally by wind or snow loading, or by the weight of the faade. Positive and negative wind loads as well as snow loads must be resisted by the system and transferred through the fixing locations.

Pilkington Profilit
Decoration Thermally toughened and colour coated Pilkington Profilit T Color is a profiled enamelled glass available in a wide range of colours, that gives architects new design possibilities. As the glass is toughened, it also meets higher safety requirements. Noise control Noise ranks among the most unpleasant emissions. The psychological and physical strain resulting from noise is a continuous hazard to human health. The use of Pilkington Profilit glass reduces the level of external noise to a level that is safe for the human ear. A double glazed installation with the padding profiles no. 165 and 166 achieves a sound reduction of 38 - 41 dB. Triple glazing can be used to achieve a sound reduction of 55 dB. Applications Pilkington Profilit can be used in interior or exterior applications. The "U-shaped" channels can be installed either vertically or horizontally. The glass is available in a variety of colours and textures with varying translucency, allowing for the passage of natural light without the loss of privacy. Pilkington Profilit is energy efficient, provides excellent sound reduction and is one of the most cost-efficient glass wall systems available. It can be single glazed for interior use or dual glazed for exterior applications. Sports centre applications: For sports centre glazing subject to ball impact, a double skin special profile Pilkington Profilit K22/60/7, K25/60/7 or K32/60/7 construction should be selected, as permitted for ball impact glazing in accordance with DIN 18032, Part 3. The profile should be used without wires. Please consider special application requirements.

Special Applications
Our special applications section includes products with specific properties. Pilkington Optiwhite is an extra clear low iron float glass which can be used as a final product, in insulating glass units or as a byproduct for manufacture of other special glass products. It is also used in the fast developing solar energy sector. Pilkington Mirropane is used as a one-way vision mirror for undetected surveillance. This type of glass is used in areas which need to be observed or where people need to be prevented from looking in, for example in police stations, customs halls, hospitals, warehouses, computer installations and banks. Pilkington TEC Glass is a range of low-emissivity glasses with an electric conductive coating of special qualities. Pilkington TEC Glass is also used in white goods applications such as fridge and oven doors, where high insulation is required. In its toughened version, it is used for direct electrical heating, which uses an electric current passing through the coating. Because the coating conducts electricity, static electricity is conducted from the coated side. We manufacture various types of Pilkington TEC Glass with different resistance levels. The glass is neutral and transparent like conventional float glass and has high light transmission. It can be curved, toughened and screen printed. If you are interested to know more about these products please contact our Technical Advisor.

Pilkington Mirropane
High reflective coated glass for one-way vision Description An on-line coated glass product developed for use as a one-way mirror where total clear vision is required and specific lighting conditions can be achieved. Under specified lighting conditions it offers an effective means of providing undetected surveillance and high quality one-way vision to achieve complete privacy. In order to maintain privacy in the observing area, the ratio of illumination levels between public and private side, or observed and observing side, must be 8:1. It is also advisable, if absolute privacy is essential, to have dark furnishings, to wear dark clothing in the area from which observation is taken place, and to ensure the lights on the observed side are not directed at the glass. Applications Pilkington Mirropane is the ideal choice for supermarkets, computer rooms, banks or cash offices, where areas need to be kept under observation or hidden from public scrutiny. It is also appropriate for patient monitoring in hospitals or residential care establishments. Pilkington Mirropane is available in 6 mm annealed form. Pilkington Mirropane is normally only used for internal applications. In such cases, since neither side of the mirror will be exposed to the weather, glazing materials such as adhesive cotton based strips, plastics or rubber channels can be used in a suitable frame. The glass must be installed with the coating on the observers side. In such situation glass on the observers side appears like a normal mirror and helps to hide the fact that the glass is used for surveillance purposes. In addition such position of the coating avoids a risk of finger prints, scratches etc. on the higher traffic side of the glass (e.g. in shops). When used within an insulating glass unit, the coating should face the cavity, and the Pilkington Mirropane glass should be on the observers side. If you would like to use Pilkington Mirropane in external applications, please contact your local Pilkington representative.

Pilkington Optiwhite
Extra clear low iron float glass Description An extra clear low iron float glass. The glass is practically colourless, and the green cast inherent to ordinary clear float glass, which is particularly noticeable in thicker glasses, is virtually eliminated. Pilkington Optiwhite offers the highest level of light and solar energy transmittance. Applications Pilkington Optiwhite is recommended for applications that require high light transmission or for which a glass of neutral colour is desired. These include clear fire protection glazing, laminated security glazing, insulating glass units, photovoltaic modules, solar collectors, projection room windows, shop fronts, demonstration counters, shelving, showcases, table tops and other frameless glazing applications. Pilkington Optiwhite is also ideal for glass which is to be ceramically decorated, as the true colours of the decoration will show through the glass. The colour neutrality of Pilkington Optiwhite is mostly noticeable in applications where the edges of the glass are exposed, for example in shelving or table tops. Features and benefits Practically colourless compared to ordinary clear float glass, ideal for applications where the glass edges are visible or when a neutral colour is desired. Highest light transmittance (1% higher than clear float glass in 3 mm thickness 6% higher in 15 mm thickness), offering outstanding visual clarity when unrestricted view is required. High solar heat transmittance (4% higher than clear float glass in 3 mm thickness), allowing more heat through the glass, thus reducing the need for heating the building. Available in annealed or toughened form. Can be combined with other Pilkington products to offer additional benefits such as solar control, noise reduction or fire protection. Available in a wide range of thicknesses, from 2 to 19 mm.
