A Singaporean company called YES WORLD Climate Tech Pte Ltd has introduced the first energy-efficient Windows solution for residential and commercial buildings. The company's SAVE EARTH MISSION, which aims to lessen the carbon footprint from the atmosphere, includes this new product line of specialty glass. Double pane and sandwich glass, which has a layer of a patented material that reflects most solar radiant heat, are two examples of the specialised glass solution. The see-through windows made of energy-efficient glass prevent solar heat from entering the building and drastically lower HVAC load energy consumption.
With YES WORLD's innovative energy-efficient glass solution for windows, up to 85% of solar heat is reflected back into space. This inventive solution takes care of every window-related shortcoming in the building envelope. The product functions as a passive solar collector, absorbing sunlight and radiating free heat into the building. It also effectively provides beneficial control over reflectivity, emissivity, absorption, radiant heat gain, solar heat gain, and privacy.
