Tool:
Guardian Glass has developed easy-to-use, advanced software for glass and glazing system analysis. Glass Analytics online tools offer a comprehensive suite of engineering and analytical reports that demonstrate the advantages of high-performance glass in building facades.
Customize
The SunGuard® Performance Calculator simplifies creation of glass make-ups through a simple point-and-click, web-based interface. Use the calculator to model the thermal and optical properties for glass make-ups ranging from monolithic uncoated glass to highly complex combinations of float glass substrates, coatings and interlayers. Then easily create client-ready reports comparing glass options.
Visualize
The Guardian Glass Visualizer dynamically generates photo-realistic images of both exterior and interior glazing views. It allows the user to evaluate the aesthetic properties of virtually any glass make-up. Just choose the glass you want to visualize, select the building and perspective that suits you, and watch how various sky conditions affect the appearance of the glass.
Design
The Guardian BIM Generator provides thermal and optical performances of the project specific IG makeups. Visibility settings control the level of detailing depending on the scale of view. Parameters control the dimensions of the spacer systems and glass bite of the unit. Fabrication needs for heat treatment or lamination can be specified, allowing for detailed glazing schedule and material takeoffs.
Configure
Using the new Acoustic Assistant is easier than ever before. A set-up assistant helps guide you through a set of relevant questions aimed at reducing the 70 million possible configurations to a manageable number, before giving you the flexibility to refine the data to suit your needs in the results table.
It is quick and easy to schedule a seminar or a workshop at your office with your Guardian team. Simply contact your Architectural Sales Manager to let us know what your specific learning needs are.
