A study of the manufacturing process for coatings on glass, the performance values and a case study on cost savings. The presenters discuss how biophilic design can positively impact the health and well-being of building occupants. A portion of the course discusses specifically how glazing can glazing can be used to connect occupants with the natural world while meeting other goals such as security, energy efficiency, and acoustic comfort.
