The low-E coating is best placed where it is protected from abrasion, i.e., on surface 2 or 3 in an insulating glass unit (IGU). What is the glass industry recommendation for the surface on which to put the low-E coating in: (i) a cold climate and (ii) a warm climate and why?

What will be an ideal response?


(i) Cold climate: surface 3. (ii) Warm climate: surface 2. Reason: Low-E coating works as reflector of longwave
radiation. Its location on surface 3 in cold climates helps reflect longwave radiation back to warm interior. Its
location on surface 2 in warm climate does the same.
