A year ago, at the "China Glass Innovation Promotion Awards Conference and Glass Futures Forum", some experts once asserted that the future will be the world of green energy-saving glass; one year later, energy-saving glass has become the hottest topic in the industry. The conference forum on energy-saving glass was held frequently, “2014 Building Energy-saving Glass Application Technology Summit Forum” and “China International Housing Industry and Construction Industrialization Products and Equipment Expo”... This year, there is also a saying in the industry. The glass industry has fully entered the era of energy conservation, and energy-saving glass has also ushered in the rise of industrialization.
The main force of the industry
As the main force driving the development of the industry, glass companies are constantly seeking technological innovation and actively expanding the energy-saving glass market. Not long ago, Hebei Wuhua Tianbao Coating Technology Co., Ltd. held a grand ceremony in the new factory of Hebei Gu'an Industrial Park. The advanced energy-saving glass production line and an energy-saving glass professional technology opened the eyes of reporters.
“On the film, cleaning, drying, upper frame, splicing, inflation, patch, sealing”, in the production workshop of Hebei Wuhua Tianbao Coating Technology Co., Ltd., the reporter witnessed the workflow of the fully automatic insulating glass production line. Insulating glass is still an internationally popular building energy-saving product. It mainly measures the energy saving effect by the sunshade coefficient (SC) or the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and the heat transfer coefficient (U value). “After the film on the manipulator, after a number of processes, it finally becomes a finished hollow glass. The whole process does not require manual operation and is completely automated.” Master Zhang, who instructs the workers at the production line, told the reporter, “This production line is imported from Germany. The technical point is that we use air-floating transmission, which will not scratch the glass during the whole production process, thus ensuring the quality of the product."
This glass company, which has been rated as “Top 30 National Glass Industry” for two consecutive years since 2012, insists on investment in technological innovation and product development, and is committed to improving the processability of products and energy-saving effects of products, and actively promoting it. Energy-saving glass products. At present, the company has a high-performance large-volume temperable Low-E coated glass production line that combines the latest coating technology at home and abroad, and introduces the most advanced deep processing production lines in the world, such as the Austrian LISEC automatic insulating glass production line and the Finnish TAMGLASS glass tempering furnace. The high-end three-silver Low-E energy-saving glass produced by the completion project is a product supported by the national industrial policy. The project construction conforms to the industry policy and also meets the current demand for energy-saving glass in the construction market.
Passive house pulling market
In recent years, with the joint promotion of the Ministry of Housing and Construction and the German Energy Agency, the road to China's “passive house” has become wider and wider. Not only that, the passive road of China's road has also brought unprecedented market demand for energy-saving glass.
In the "Second Sino-German Cooperation Passive Low-Energy Housing Technology Exchange Seminar", the relevant person in charge of the International Cooperation and Exchange Department of the Science and Industrialization Development Center of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development once said that energy-saving windows and doors are one of the keys to promoting passive houses. With the follow-up promotion of passive houses, the demand for energy-saving windows and doors will increase, which will bring new development opportunities for energy-saving glass.
As we all know, the demand for passive housing market is huge, and the requirements for the performance of building materials are high, especially glass. The traditional single-piece glass and ordinary double-layer insulating glass can not meet the requirements of the passive house due to its high heat transfer coefficient and poor thermal insulation effect. Therefore, glass has become one of the key nodes in passive house design. For passive houses, air tightness is the key to low energy consumption, and close to the airtightness is the number of doors and windows. This brings benefits to energy-saving glass manufacturers. Passive houses have high requirements on the quality of profiles. Through the market's baptism of the survival of the inferior products, it is conducive to eliminating low-quality competitive low-quality products, standardizing the development of the industry, and providing a good development opportunity for enterprises producing high-quality profiles. According to industry insiders, domestic glass manufacturers can provide glass products that meet the standards of “passive low-energy building transparent glass”. Therefore, the development of passive low-energy buildings brings market opportunities to domestic glass enterprises. Innovation and development of the entire glass industry.
