PLANIBEL TOP 1.0

OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS, AGC HAS GREATLY IMPROVED THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS LOW EMISSIVITY GLASS IN TERMS OF:

• APPEARANCE

• LIGHT & ENERGY CHARACTERISTICS

• QUALITY

• PROCESSABILITY

• EMISSIVITY

PLANIBEL TOP 1.0

AGC has developed several Low-E products to ensure that it regularly brings to market the best products featuring top performance:

• PLANIBEL PLUS

• PLANIBEL TOP

• PLANIBEL TOP N

• PLANIBEL TOP N+

PLANIBEL TOP 1.0

EMISSIVITY IS A KEY POINT

LOWER EMISSIVITY MEANS:

• Lower Ug Value

• Better thermal insulation value in DGUs used in future buildings

In June 2009 AGC will launch its new Low-E glass:PLANIBEL TOP 1.0

AGC has a broad range of Low-E products, but…

• Which is the best product?

• Where should Planibel Top 1.0 be used instead of Planibel TRI?

• Where should Energy N be used instead of Planibel Top N+?

• Is the lowest Ug always the best solution?

…customers can feel “lost”.

PLANIBEL TOP 1.0

A simple rule to help customers:

While emissivity (Ug) should be minimal whatever the kind of building and the climate conditions, the Solar Factor should be considered in accordance with specific situations.

Basically 3 main applications should be taken into consideration:

PLANIBEL TOP 1.0

Commercial building (in Cooling and Heating Dominant condition):

• Low Ug Value & Low Solar Factor (Solar Protection):

• Energy N or Stopray Range

Residential building (in Heating Dominant conditions):

• Low Ug Value & High Solar Factor (Free Solar Heat Gain):

• Planibel TRI or Planibel Top N+

Residential building (Cooling Dominant conditions):

• Low Ug Value & Low Solar Factor:

• ENERGY N or Planibel TOP 1.0 or Planibel Top N+

PLANIBEL TOP 1.0

For Strong Cooling Dominant conditions: Stopray Range

Position in AGC Low-E range

PLANIBEL TOP 1.0

The performance of Planibel TOP 1.0 vs. standard Low-E

glass (Planibel Top N+) in “Cooling Dominant Conditions”

was confirmed by a special study commissioned by AGC

and carried out by ITC (Istituto delle Tecnologie delle

Costruzioni), an independent Italian laboratory.

PLANIBEL TOP 1.0

• PLANIBEL TOP 1.0 is ready for sales

• The Best Ug value in the AGC Range

• Good solar protection (SF =50%)

• Can be combined with AGC solar control glass (Stopsol &

Sunergy) to achieve Ug=1.0 W/(mqK) and to improve the final

SF for better solar protection

PLANIBEL TOP 1.0

• Planibel TRI remains the best solution for “Heating Dominant

Conditions”, while Planibel TOP 1.0 shows its full efficiency in

“Cooling Dominant Conditions”

• AGC has a full range of Low-E glasses and can supply customers

withy Low-E glass having Ug=1.0 W/(mqK)

• With its low U-value in DGUs, Planibel Top 1.0 can be useful in

helping, say, aluminium frame producers to comply with new

national regulations.
