Potential impact of high performance glazing on energy and CO2 savings in Europe
report
The major European manufacturers of architectural glass, joined in GLASS FOR EUROPE, requested an independent study on the potential energy and CO2 savings in the 28 EU Member States resulting from the application of high performance glazing. This report quantifies the potential impact of the application of high performance glazing on annual energy savings and CO2 reductions for EU28 for five scenarios. This report updates two earlier reports [1,2]. The calculation method used is a monthly method, i.e. a method where the energy balance of the building is set up per month, each with a different ambient temperature and solar irradiation. This method corresponds to the EPBD standard developed for the determination of heating and cooling loads of buildings. Information on building stock, material properties and meteorological data comes from international studies and statistics.
