There are two types of Low-E glass hard coated and soft coated. Hard coated is more durable and easier to install than soft coated Low-E glass but has a lower insulating performance compared to soft coated Low-E glass (Carter, 2011). Soft coated Low-E glass is more fragile and can oxidize when exposed to moisture. This makes soft coated Low-E glass more expensive to install and maintain but it has a higher insulating performance compared to hard coated Low-E glass (Carter, 2011).
These systems are inefficient because majority of the warm and cool air is lost through the ventilation and they take longer to circulate the air throughout the building (EERE, 2011)Radiant heating is similar to when you place your hand over a hot stove. The warm feeling of heat in your hands is caused by radiant energy being released from the stove. The same effect is true when you walk through the frozen food section of a supermarket. The cooler air escaped from the freezers and cools that section of the store. Hydronic radiant systems use water in tubes that are mounted in panels that are installed into walls, ceilings and floors.
