Architects and building owners face challenges everyday in balancing aesthetics and daylighting design needs with increasingly stringent building and energy code requirements. Coupled with the growing focus on pro-actively reducing the carbon footprint of dwellings and buildings, these challenges are becoming increasingly daunting. Translucent Lumira aerogel is the perfect solution to combat these issues by maintaining and enhancing energy efficiency while enabling a wide range of commercial and residential building design choices. The inclusion of Lumira aerogel in daylighting systems virtually eliminates the historical trade-off of insulation vs. natural light by providing 3 to 6 times the thermal performance of the traditional, poorly insulated fenestration products, while maintaining optimal light transmission. As a result, even large daylight surface areas can maintain high energy efficiency by reducing thermal loads.

• Unsurpassed thermal insulation - R-value of 10 center of panel / U-value of 0.10
• Increased natural light transmission
• Superior light diffusion - elimination of glare
• Improved acoustic performance
• Reduced solar heat gain/loss
• Decreased energy consumption-heat,air conditioning,lighting, ventilation, carbon emissions
• Unmatched moisture resistance-100% hydrophobic
• Exceptional color stability
