CESSNA 177 — Performance Data

This document is a Technical Service Bulletin from Cardinal IG Company, focusing on performance data and comparisons for various insulating glass products. It provides detailed performance characteristics of Cardinal's LoĒ® products, including comparisons of different glass substrates and coatings. The bulletin is intended for manufacturers and professionals in the glass industry, offering insights into the thermal and optical performance of low-emissivity glass products. It includes data on visible light transmittance, shading coefficients, U-values, and other relevant metrics for various glass combinations, helping users make informed decisions about glass selection for energy efficiency and comfort.

• Performance data includes U-values, SHGC, and visible light transmittance for various glass combinations.
• Double-pane configurations show U-values ranging from 0.18 to 0.78 BTU/hr/ft²/°F depending on the glass type.
• Triple-pane configurations provide even better thermal performance, with U-values as low as 0.24 BTU/hr/ft²/°F.
• Low-E coatings significantly improve thermal insulation and reduce energy costs.
• The bulletin emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate glass types for energy efficiency.
