What is LoE and do I need it?
LoE is the standard term for Low Emissive glass. LoE glass coatings have low emissive and high reflectivity of infrared radiation. In winter nighttime conditions the LoE coatings reflect heat coming from the interior of the house back toward the interior to reduce heat loss. In sunny summertime conditions LoE coatings reflect Ultra Violet and heat from the exterior back toward the exterior to reduce solar heat gain. Hence, less costly heating bills in the winter and cheaper cooling bills in the summer. Do you need it? Yes. LoE is standard for almost every window manufacturer in today’s market. To go without LoE usually will not provide any cost savings.
