NGA asked its Annual Conference 2020 attendees what we as an industry need to pay attention to in this new decade.
Here are some of the insights:
-
The industry needs to continue progress on energy-saving advantages of glass, including triple glazing.
-
We need to stay vigilant on development of energy efficiency codes, environmental laws and sustainability.
-
The glazing industry needs to work to make smart glass and energy efficient glass more affordable and educate architect and building owners on their benefits.
-
We should focus on how to best communicate between the different trades and streamline product selection.
-
We must tackle environmental issues such as bird safety and recycling of glass and glazing products.
-
We need to ensure window to wall ratios are protected and promote the benefits of glass in the building envelope.
-
We must advocate for utilizing glass in building facades as well as interiors.
