These emissions accumulate throughout a building’s life — from material production to eventual demolition. Motivated by this vision, MIT engineers have created durable, multilayered glass ...

Many of the latest building codes are now demanding glazing systems to achieve U-values as low as U-0.32, including framing.

it doesn’t trap sunlight like glass. Instead, it releases heat in the form of long-wave infrared radiation (radiative cooling), allowing the material to keep the building cool even on a sunny day.
