Solar reflective glass, also known as solar control glass, is used to control the amount of solar radiation entering a building or vehicle. In the daytime or summers, it reflects solar radiation back into the atmosphere, thus preventing heat buildup in the building. At night or in winters, it prevents radiation from escaping, maintaining an equitable temperature in the enclosure. Modern solar reflective glass exhibits total solar reflectance (TSR) (a measure of how well a material reflects each wavelength of energy) of more than 80% without causing significant impact on the transmissibility of light. This is a marked improvement from the 15-20% TSR value obtained from using traditional paints and coatings. In many countries, buildings represent about 30% of the total energy consumption. In tropical climates, a significant amount of energy is spent on air conditioning in order to maintain a pleasant temperature; whereas in countries with colder climates, energy is expended on a variet...
