The prime concern with the early products seems to have been if solar heat gain would be limited and therefore not keep the house warm in winter months. Today, the high performance LowE glass products deal with that and other requirements. Another concern is the initial cost but the long term savings in money spent on power in the home outweigh the increased cost over untreated glass and make LowE an economic choice.
