CESSNA 177 · Performance Data
Overview
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.

Performance Data for Double-Pane Insulating Glass
The bulletin presents performance data for double-pane insulating glass with various combinations of exterior and interior glass types. It includes metrics such as visible light transmittance, shading coefficient (SHGC), U-value, and comfort indoor glass temperatures for different glass configurations. For example, clear glass with a clear interior shows a U-value of 0.78 BTU/hr/ft²/°F, while combinations with LoĒ coatings exhibit lower U-values, indicating better thermal performance.
Triple-Pane Insulating Glass Performance Data
The document also details performance data for triple-pane insulating glass configurations. It includes similar metrics as the double-pane section, emphasizing the benefits of using low-E coatings for improved thermal efficiency. For instance, a combination of LoĒ-180® and clear glass shows a U-value of 0.56 BTU/hr/ft²/°F, demonstrating enhanced insulation properties.
Low-E Coating Comparisons
A section is dedicated to comparing various low-E coatings, highlighting their optical and thermal performance characteristics. This includes visible light transmittance, shading coefficients, and U-values for different glass combinations. The data helps users understand the impact of different coatings on energy efficiency and comfort.

Tech TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN Bulletin #IG05– 06/16 1 of 5 Performance Data and Comparisons The performance characteristics of Cardinal’s LoĒ® products are shown on the attached insulating glass performance charts. The following products and combination of products are compared: • IG units with nominal 3mm and 6mm glass substrates; • IG units with clear, green, gray, and bronze non-coated glass substrates; • IG units with LoĒ²-272®, LoĒ²-270®, LoĒ²-240®, LoĒ3-366®, and LoĒ³-340™ on the #2 glass surface; • IG units with LoĒ-180® on the #2 or #3 glass surfaces; • IG units with green, gray, or bronze outdoor glass substrates with LoĒ-180®, LoĒ²-272®, LoĒ²-270®, LoĒ²-240®, LoĒ3-366®, LoĒ³-340™ or LoĒ-180® on the #3 Indoor glass surface; • IG units with LoĒ²-272®, LoĒ²-270®, LoĒ²-240®, LoĒ3-366®, LoĒ³-340™ or LoĒ-180® on the #2 glass surface with LoĒ-i89® on the #4 glass surface. Although the Winter U-factors are not affected when Cardinal’s LoĒ® coatings are used on the #2 or #3 glass surface, the Shading Coefficient and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient will be higher when the coatings are on the #3 glass surface compared to the #2 glass surface. Cardinal does not recommend the use of LoĒ® coatings on tinted substrates; therefore, there is no performance data listed for these combinations. However, Cardinal will supply IG units with a tinted lite outdoors and clear LoĒ® coated products on (surface #3) indoors. Cardinal also does not recommend solar control LoE® coatings (LoĒ²-272®, LoĒ²-270®, LoĒ²-240®, LoĒ3-366®, and LoĒ³-340™) be used on the #3 surface of a dual pane IG unit with a clear outdoor lite. The potential for having inside glass breakage from thermally-induced stress is increased. These coatings are designed as second surface coatings in a dual pane IG unit. The only LoĒ® coatings recommended for use on the #3 surface of a dual pane IG unit with a clear outdoor lite is LoĒ-180® and LoE-i89®.
