Glass for Europe’s latest project demonstrates the fundamental contribution of glass products to sustainable buildings.

The booklet on ‘The smart use of glass in sustainable buildings’ showcases many European examples of low energy and sustainable buildings where glass plays a fundamental role.

The booklet provides examples of different building types (offices, single-family homes, schools, hospitals, etc.) located under various European climatic conditions which all achieve high energy efficiency standards and high sustainability criteria thanks to their glazed surfaces.

Indeed, most of the buildings have won prizes or obtained ‘top grades’ of sustainability certification schemes for minimal environmental impact.
