Guardian Glass Launches New Sustainability Calculator

Architects Can Now Evaluate Guardian Glazing Product Compliance

With Green Rating Systems

Auburn Hills, Mich. – July 6, 2017 – Architects and designers can now efficiently

evaluate environmental performance attributes of Guardian glass products with the new

Guardian Sustainability Calculator. This easy-to-use digital program helps users see

how Guardian glazing make-ups can help a project earn certification from green building

rating systems such as LEED®, the Living Building Challenge and the WELL Building

Standard.

“The Guardian Sustainability Calculator gives you the power to select Guardian

SunGuard® or InGlass® architectural glass products, evaluate them and document their

contribution potential,” explains Brian Schulz, product manager, Guardian Glass North

America. “The program generates a comprehensive report on a range of rating systems,

helps architects and designers see what’s possible™ and aids in the specification

process.”

The newest component of Guardian Glass Analytics™ for North America, the

Sustainability Calculator joins the Performance Calculator, Building Energy Calculator,

BIM Generator and the Glass Visualizer. Together, these industry-leading tools provide

comprehensive engineering and analytical modeling and custom glass content that

demonstrate the advantages of high performance glass in building facades.
