Sustainable buildings
Buildings are responsible for around 40% of energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and AGC has been working on sustainable glass solutions for quite some time. Vacuum insulating glass and smart-tinting glass are two of the energy efficient solutions AGC has recently developed, taking up the challenge to evolve to comfortable zero carbon buildings.
