We aim to be the global leader in innovative high-performance glass and glazing solutions, contributing to energy conservation and generation, working safely and ethically. Find out more about Sustainability at http://www.nsg.com/sustainability.

We support ASHRAE to advance technology to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world.

We receive lots of questions about our Group Sustainability policy and credentials. Most of these can be answered by referring to our Sustainability Report however we have highlighted some of the key ones below.

Solar control is a key issue in terms of energy saving: Our range of solar control products cover all architectural requirements, offering solutions for large and small glazed areas of all types of buildings. Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorbance.

NSG Group Partners with Convergent Energy + Power to Provide First Battery Storage System. NSG Group is committed to initiatives that reduce energy consumption and carbon (CO2) emission by using energy more efficiently and effectively.

It is the largest private sector, behind-the–meter, renewable energy project in Ohio. The solar array will supply approximately 12 percent of the Northwood R&D facility's power requirements, while reducing annual electric consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Glass is an integral and important element of photovoltaic solar panels. To increase efficiency, low-iron glass, which is more expensive, but clearer than ordinary glass, is increasingly specified. Anti-reflective coatings can also increase the amount of usable solar energy.

Pilkington Energy Advantage™ is a pyrolitically on-line coated low-emissivity glass. It offers substantial improvement on thermal insulation when compared to clear float glass.

Solar energy panels offer alternative solutions to a range of energy requirements, from small scale domestic applications to large scale solar power stations, from cloudy northern rooftops to hot sunny deserts. Solar glass is an integral and important element of these solar panels.

Improves the energy efficiency of domestic or commercial buildings whilst enabling the extensive use of glass and the benefit of passive solar gain. Today's building codes, homeowners and communities are demanding more from glass.
