SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS – FACADE / 25 / SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS – FACADE 24 LOW EMBODIED CARBON GLASS ORAÉ® BIRD PROTECTION 4BIRD ® With 4BIRD®, Saint-Gobain Glass offers a full range of solutions to answer the growing demands of bird friendly glass and glazing. Gathering several possibilities to combine Saint-Gobain Glass COOL-LITE ® solar control coated glass with certified pattern made using different processing technologies, 4BIRD ® offers both a sustainable solution for the preservation of the biodiversity and a wiser energy consumption of building 14 , while keeping a homogeneous and neutral external aesthetic for the entire façade. © Shutterstock MORE DETAILS IN OUR DEDICATED 4BIRD ® DOCUMENTATION ©Lasse Olssom Foto The highly selective solar control products of the COOL-LITE ® XTREME and SKN families are available on ORAÉ ® substrate, the world's first low-carbon glass. With ORAÉ ® , Saint-Gobain Glass has achieved a landmark technical breakthrough enabling it to offer a low embodied carbon glass on the façade market thanks to a substantial R&D effort and the excellence of our industrial teams. This innovation will help to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of construction and accelerate the development of the circular economy. Intended for use in the glazed parts of a facade, COOL-LITE ® ORAÉ ® is a perfect response to the stricter sustainability requirements of the building industry without any compromise on technical or aesthetic performance. COOL-LITE ® ORAÉ ® provides the best of both embodied and operational carbon levels, thanks to: • The glass substrate ORAÉ®, with its low carbon footprint verified by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), produced by combining a very high recycled glass content (cullet) and renewable electricity. • The excellent energy performan- ces of the COOL-LITE ® XTREME or COOL-LITE ® SKN coatings, which already drastically reduce carbon emissions generated by energy consumption, when using the building thanks to its high performance in terms of daylight intake, solar control and thermal insulation. SUSTAINABILITY COOL-LITE ® XTREME ORAÉ ® and COOL-LITE ® SKN ORAÉ ® are available in standard sizes and thicknesses (4, 6, 8 and 10mm). In complementarity to COOL-LITE ® XTREME ORAÉ ® and COOL-LITE ® SKN ORAÉ ® assembled in double or triple glazing, the uncoated ORAÉ ® as well as our low-e PLANITHERM ® ORAÉ ® and ECLAZ ® ORAÉ ® are also available for the counter panes. RANGE ORAÉ ® is offering exactly the same aesthetics than the regular clear float glass PLANICLEAR ® . Combined with COOL-LITE ® XTREME or COOL-LITE ® SKN ORAÉ ® the low external reflection as well as the colour-neutral external appearance creates an excellent combination of function and aesthetics. AESTHETICS COOL-LITE ® XTREME ORAÉ ® and COOL-LITE ® SKN ORAÉ ® provide the same performances and quality as respectively COOL-LITE ® XTREME or COOL-LITE ® SKN on PLANICLEAR ® , with a much lower carbon footprint. According to its verified EPD, the ORAÉ ® substrate has a carbon footprint of only 6.64 kg CO 2 eq./m 2 (for a 4mm substrate), bringing a reduction of 42% compared to our European standard product PLANICLEAR ® . Coated, processed and assembled in insulated glazing unit, the reduction is then around 30% to 40%. PERFORMANCES GET TO KNOW MORE ON OUR ORAÉ ® WEBPAGE Following existing guidelines and expert’s recommendations, 4BIRD ® offers several configurations and approved designs. The different proposed configurations were evaluated by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) and found that they satisfied ABC’s criterion for bird-friendly glass (Material Threat Factor (TF) ≤ 25). 4BIRD ® are turnkey solutions to help our customers to answer to projects where bird protection is needed, while having the same aesthetics and performances for the entire building. There are variety of possibilities to answer to all projects and visions. 14 All products of the 4BIRD ® family are comprising Saint-Gobain Glass‘ COOL-LITE ® XTREME and SKN solar control coated glass, offering thus all benefits related to this product family opaque enameled pattern on #2 solar control coating on #3 only with COOL-LITE ® SKN 183 II opaque enameled pattern on #2 (#1 also possible) solar control coating on #4 recommendedwith COOL-LITE ® XTREME70/33II COOL-LITE ® XTREME61/29II COOL-LITE ® SKN183II COOL-LITE ® SKN175II COOL-LITE ® SKN176II special bird-friendly interlayer solar control coating COOL-LITE ® on #4 of laminated glass opaque enameled pattern on #2 solar control coating on #2 only with COOL-LITE ® SKN 183 II acid-etched pattern on #1 to-be-tempered solar control coating COOL-LITE ® on #2 (delivered protected by EASYPRO ® ) 4BIRD ® Frit offers several possibilities to combine an opaque enameled pattern together with selected COOL-LITE ® olar control coatings of Saint-Gobain Glass in different configurations. 4BIRD ® Etch features an acid-etched patterns directly on face #1 together with selected COOL-LITE ® solar control coatings on face 2 of the same glass pane. This is made possible thanks to the EASYPRO ® protective coating technology. Several designs can be etched on the glass surface. 4BIRD ® Lami ensures the possibility to combine commercially available bird-friendly interlayers such as Saflex ® FlySafe™ 3D PVB with Saint-Gobain Glass solar control coatings of the COOL-LITE ® family for an effective protection.
