Low Iron and Solar
Low iron glasses have similar chemical composition and properties as soda-lime float glass except the iron oxide content is significantly reduced, providing a less “greenish” tint.
Solar filters based on iron oxides used as efficient windows for energy
These data were used to determine energy savings attributed to the use of when iron-based solar filters are used on windows. These solar filters resulted in a 9–16% reduction in the
