Advocacy & Technical Resources

NGA Advocacy and Technical Resources. An Update on technical and codes work by NGA's Advocacy and technical services team

Your industry advocate, NGA promotes and defends the use of glass in the built environment. NGA’s advocacy and technical initiatives respond to the relentless, ever-changing challenges to our industry. We thank our volunteer members, industry partners and expert consultants who work tirelessly to ensure glass and glazing is at the forefront of all discussions impacting building regulations and innovation in construction. 

We are:

  • working with domestic and international standards and codes bodies

  • providing education on the benefits of glazing and glass building products

  • representing the glass industry’s best interests on key issues
