The National Glass Association (NGA), being the largest trade association representing the flat (architectural) and auto glass industries, was proud to mark the 41st anniversary of Earth Day. The glass industry, in fact, places a great deal of importance at being at the forefront of energy efficiency, investing millions of dollars each year in technology to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. The NGA is a member of the US Department of Energy“s Zero Energy Efficiency Consortium, which focuses on pushing the outer limits of glass and glazing technology to reduce energy use. The NGA is also involved in energy related policy at national level and works to educate the industry on new technology. The NGA“s GlassBuild America: The Glass, Window & Door Expo is known as a platform for new product rollouts in the industry. Glass companies from across North America, as well internationally based firms, gather every year to introduce, demonstrate, and view the latest industry technology. New and innovative products, including those focused on energy efficiency, are highlighted in the Innovations Pavilion. GlassBuild America, to take place 12-14 September in Atlanta, will feature panel discussions on energy efficiency for the third consecutive year; the 6th annual Glazing Executives Forum will explore the next wave of energy efficiency in glass; and the inaugural Architects Forum will focus on the Architecture 2030 Initiative and sparking energy efficiency.
