Cal State‐San Marcos
Markstein Hall, the business school at California State University‐San Marcos, was one of the first
buildings to use environmentally progressive Solarban 70XL glass and Duranar coatings in collaboration. With a light to solar gain (LSG) ratio of 2.37, Solarban 70XL glass is the industry’s most energy‐efficient architectural glass. Durable
Duranar and
Duranar
ULTRA‐Cool coatings are available in a virtually
unlimited palette of colors. |

adidas Village
Converted from a former hopsital site in Portland, Oregon, adidas Village embraces the principles of sustainability through thoughtful site selection and reuse of existing building stock. PPG architectural glass helps deliver maximum daylighting and energy efficiency, while colorful panels coated with
Duranar and Coraflon coatings by PPG communicate the style intrinsic to the adidas brand. |

PNC FirstSide
At PNC FirstSide in Pittsburgh, a soaring atrium, skylights and light wells combine to flood more than 90 percent of the structure’s 650,000 sqaure feet with natural light.
Sungate 500 low‐e glass and panels, skylights and louvers coated with
Duranar and
Polycron coatings from PPG also contribute to the building’s LEED silver status. |

ArborReal Development
Duranar ULTRA‐Cool coatings, including Zinc Grey on the metal roof and Weathered Copper on the siding, help this residential development in Palo Alto, California, achieve lower cooling costs and an attractive aesthetic. Infrared‐reflective coating technology that is proprietary to
Duranar ULTRA‐Cool coatings deflects solar heat from metal roofs and coatings, even those with darker colors. (Courtesy Custom‐Bilt Metals) |

The Cirque
The Cirque in Dallas is an upscale, luxury‐apartment high‐rise near the city’s vibrant urban center. Solarban 70XL glass by PPG gives the building a chic, transparent appearance, but also helps manage the cooling load generated by the warm Texas sunlight.

Northwest Labs, Harvard University
At Harvard University, a new multi‐disciplinary research building for neurosciences, bio‐engineering, systems biology and computational analysis prominently features Solarban 70XL glass. In an article published in the campus newspaper, Craig Hartmann, a Design Partner at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, told reporters that the glass does more than connect the building to the campus; it also combats excess energy consumption by mitigating the use of artificial lighting during the day.
