Energy Efficient Skylights

 

Wasco Introduces

 

Wasco’s new eMAX3 is a new energy efficient glazing which meets the 2010 Energy Star program for all climate zones. The eMAX3 Triple Silver Coated Series is a high performance insulated glass with argon. This skylight is available in many standard sizes and will ship from stock within two days of receipt of order.

eMAX3, so named for its three layers of silver which limit solar heat gain and permit the maximum transmission of light, blocks 95% of ultraviolet rays and reduces window heat gain in the Wasco units by as much as 69% as compared to identical skylights constructed with two panes of clear glass.

eMAX3 is available in E-Class and Curb-Mount models.

Wasco Skylights with Nanogel® – More than 2x the thermal value!

Wasco skylights with Nanogel® Translucent Aerogel are the highest performing daylighting product available on the market today. Adapting nano technology in Wasco skylights provides practical everyday solutions in fenestration products. Nanogel is able to provide a tremendous thermal insulator that is also environmentally sound. Nanogel works so well because of what it does on a nano-scale. Nanogel permanently stops connective, conductive, thermal transfer without an appreciable drop in light transmission.

 

 

• Superior thermal performance – more than 2X the thermal value of a typical insulated glass skylight

• Glare-free, full spectrum diffused light

• “Green” product that’s perfect for Cradle to Cradle designs

• Completely moisture resistant

• Will not support growth of mold, mildew, or fungus

• Reduces sound transmission

• UV stable polycarbonate glazing

• Performance will not deteriorate over time

Nanogel Aerogel is available in E-Class, Curb-Mount and Architectural Series models.

*Definitions:

High Performance eMAX3: An outer pane of tempered Low-E glass coated on the interior surface with three layers of silver and an inner pane of tempered glass. Argon gas fills the airspace.

High Performance eMAX3 Laminated: An outer pane of tempered Low-E glass coated on the interior surface with three layers of silver and an inner pane of heat strengthened laminated glass. Argon gas fills the airspace.

Triple Glazed 30-30: An outer and inner pane of Low-E glass coated on the interior surfaces with three layers of silver, with a third pane of clear glass between. Argon gas insulates the two airspaces.

Nanogel® is Cabot Corporation's trade name for its family of silica aerogels. It is an aerogel that consists of 95% air, in nano-sized pores that inhibit heat transfer through the aerogel. Sometimes called "frozen smoke," Nanogel is the lightest weight solid and one of the best thermal insulators in the world.
