Rice University researchers and collaborators have developed a new coating for glass could help reduce energy bills, especially during the cold season, by preventing heat-loss from leaky windows.

Cleantech company NxLite announced today the commercial launch of NxLite L80, which is described as the industry's first low-emissivity (low-E) sputter coating that can be applied to polycarbonate and ...

Q: Even though my house is adequately insulated, my air conditioner runs a lot. On sunny days, the bedroom ceiling seems hot, so heat must be coming from the hot roof. How can I reduce this afternoon ...

Low-emissivity (low-e) glasses are critical to making today’s buildings brighter, more energy-efficient and more sustainable. By controlling solar heat gain and promoting daylighting, they help ...

HOUSTON – (July 10, 2025) – A new coating for glass developed by Rice University researchers and collaborators could help reduce energy bills, especially during the cold season, by preventing ...

Last week I identified the four energy bands that determined the effectiveness of windows: visible, solar near IR, re-radiated mid IR and thermal convection. Each energy band requires its own ...

Even small emissivity errors can result in huge errors in infrared readings. Unfortunately, electrical cabinets contain lots of shiny metal and therefore lots of surfaces that create emissivity ...
