Glass Helps University of California’s New Building Maximize Sustainability
The University of California, Irvine’s new Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB) was designed with three major performance and aesthetic goals in mind: natural lighting, energy efficiency and sustainable design. Large expanses of glass dominate the building’s exterior to allow for an abundance of natural light, but the ISEB’s design team had to consider the energy impact of its ambitious design.
To maximize the project’s green design and enhance its energy efficiency, LMN Architects selected Solarban®70 glass by Vitro Architectural Glass, which offers optimal clarity, consistency and solar control performance.
