Energy efficiency by glazing

The European Flat Glass Asociation Glass for Europe commissioned a study on energy savings and CO2 emission avoidance of high performing glazing to the independent research institute TNO Built Environment and Geoscience (TNO).

This study is a quantification of both energy and CO2 savings that can be realised thanks to high-performance glazing across the 28 EU Member States in both horizons 2030 and 2050. In addition to full potentials, whereby all windows are equipped with high-performance glazing across all EU buildings, it also simulates the impacts of several window replacement rates, all compared to a baseline scenario.

The study draws on recent scientific sources to define input parameters such as today’s Europe building stock and performance, the evolution in the energy mix, the penetration of high-performance heating and cooling equipment, etc.

The  study  conducted  by  TNO  integrates  buildings  and  energy  sources  information  per  country.  It  stems from this detailed work that it provides national figures on the amount of energy and related CO2  emissions  that  could  be  saved  annually  in  2030  and  2050,  if  all  buildings  from  a  selected  Member State were equipped with high-performance glazing.
