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

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 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.

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.

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.

Unlike soft coat low-e glass, it can be stored indefinitely with absolutely no loss in performance, minimizing inventory loss. Automatic washing machines using clean hot water and detergents can be used just like on ordinary clear glass.

This new 6-acre, 1.4 MW solar array will produce over 2.5 million kWh of renewable energy annually. By way of comparison, that is enough electricity to power about 200 homes or offset about 50 percent of the electricity used at this site's Automotive Advanced Assembly Facility.

It offers solar control characteristics and high selectivity. Pilkington EverGreen™ provides high light transmittance when compared to other tinted float glasses while still providing solar control, resulting in a high selective glass.

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.
