The article focuses on the move of manufacturers to design curtain wall and operable vents with triple glazing to increase stringency of model energy codes and zero-carbon sustainability goals. It says that systems designed for triple glazing help achieve the needed low-U-factors for the buildings. It mentions that low U-factors can be achieved with suspended coated film (SCF) technology insulating glass (IG) units without added weight. Moreover, the occurrence of heat transfer is discussed.

The article focuses on high-performance window glass to improve energy efficiency of the commercial building. It says that the triple-pane insulating glass consists of three panes of glass and two low-emissivity (low-e) coating separated by two air spaces. It also mentions that suspended-film, multi-cavity insulating glass leverages the benefits of film- and glass-based technology to form a lightweight insulating glass (IG) unit.

The article focuses on the Van Buren land port of entry (LPOE) in Maine, which is responsible for the 258 kilometer (km) international border between New Brunswick and Québec. It says that the LPOE facility, designed by Julie Snow Architects Inc., relies on a high-performance curtain wall to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold criteria of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Moreover, the framing of insulating glass (IG) units is discussed.
