Key Performance Features
🌡️
Low-E Coating

Vacuum sputtered low-e coatings applied to the glass surface reduce infrared heat transfer while allowing visible light to pass through.

🏠
Thermal Insulation

The sealed cavity, often filled with air or argon gas, minimizes heat conduction and improves U-value performance.

Energy Savings

Reduced heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter lowers HVAC demand, contributing to long-term energy efficiency.

💧
Comfort & Condensation Control

Improved indoor temperature stability and reduced condensation on interior surfaces.

📌 Compliance Note: Low-e IGU is manufactured to comply with global safety and performance standards, ensuring reliability across diverse markets:
ASTM E2190 (USA)

Defines IGU durability and performance, testing seal integrity, moisture resistance, gas retention, and fogging prevention.

IGCC/IGMA Certification (USA/Canada)

Certification program ensuring IGUs meet ASTM E2190 requirements through audits, sample testing, and long-term performance verification.

EN 1279 (Europe)

Governs IGU performance, covering moisture penetration, gas leakage, mechanical strength, optical quality, and thermal insulation durability.

AS/NZS 4666 (Australia/New Zealand)

Establishes IGU requirements for durability, moisture resistance, gas retention, and long-term thermal performance in buildings.

Your Trusted Partner

Glaspedia is recognized as a reliable supplier of Low-E IGUs for major commercial and residential developments in Hong Kong and beyond.

📍 470 Hennessy Road, Hong Kong
South Star supplied both Low‑E IGUs and BIPV IGUs for this landmark commercial tower, integrating renewable energy generation while ensuring high energy efficiency and full compliance with stringent façade performance requirements.
📍 The Henley, Hong Kong
Glaspedia's flat and curved Low‑E IGUs provide superior thermal comfort and sustainability, meeting the demands of modern living in a dense metropolitan environment.

  • Design Flexibility: Options for acoustic interlayers, decorative printing, or BIPV integration expand architectural possibilities.
South Star LowE Insulated Glass Units represent the convergence of energy efficiency, safety, and sustainability. With proven performance in landmark projects such as 470 Hennessy Road and The Henley, and the ability to combine lamination with IGUs, South Star continues to deliver glazing solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern architecture and urban development.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Low-E IGU and how does it work?
A Low-E IGU (Low-Emissivity Insulated Glass Unit) consists of two or more glass panes with a vacuum-sputtered low-e coating that reduces infrared heat transfer. The sealed cavity between panes — typically filled with air or argon gas — minimizes heat conduction, improving the unit's overall U-value and thermal insulation performance.
Which international standards do Low-E IGUs need to comply with?
Low-E IGUs are manufactured to meet key international standards including ASTM E2190 (USA), IGCC/IGMA Certification (USA/Canada), EN 1279 (Europe), and AS/NZS 4666 (Australia/New Zealand). These standards govern seal integrity, moisture resistance, gas retention, optical quality, and long-term thermal performance.
How do Low-E IGUs contribute to energy savings in buildings?
By reducing heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, Low-E IGUs significantly lower the HVAC demand of a building. This results in reduced energy consumption, lower utility costs, and a smaller carbon footprint — contributing to long-term energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
Can Low-E IGUs be combined with laminated glass technology?
Yes. South Star enhances IGUs by integrating laminated glass technology, combining the thermal performance of Low-E coatings with the safety and security benefits of laminated layers. This combination also supports design flexibility, including acoustic interlayers, decorative printing, and BIPV integration.
What landmark projects have used South Star's Low-E IGUs?
South Star has supplied Low-E IGUs for notable projects including 470 Hennessy Road in Hong Kong — a commercial tower featuring both Low‑E and BIPV IGUs — and The Henley in Hong Kong, where flat and curved Low‑E IGUs deliver superior thermal comfort and consistent façade aesthetics for luxury residential use.
Are Low-E IGUs suitable for both curved and flat architectural applications?
Yes. As demonstrated at The Henley project, Glaspedia supplies both flat and curved Low‑E IGUs with uniform coating color, ensuring architectural consistency and aesthetic quality across complex façade designs. This makes them suitable for a wide range of modern architectural applications in commercial and residential developments.
