While many architects have designed many unique facades,the facade is not 90° vertically,but with some slopes,and glass is also used in skylight to get more light transmittance.But will the insulated glass thermal insulation performance change in this situation?
Here is the result we calculated with Berkery LBNL window 7.5,based on solarban 60.

As we can see,the glass tile angle from 90° to 0°，there’s almost no performance difference despite the U value in Winter,it increase from 1.67 to 2.47W/M2.K.
So we can see ,in winter ,especially cold areas,the insulated glass angles will allow more heating going out the glass and increase the interior heating costs.While the tilted glass,especially the skylight glass will allow more solar energy energy transmitted therough the glass,so designers should consider and balance this issue when designing .

How about the laminated glass?Let’s take 6+1.52+6 clear tempered laminated glass as example：

As we can see,the glass installation angle affect glass U value much,so don’t forget calculating the glass U value when glass is not installed vertically.

with the glass installation angle decrease from 90° to 0°，different from insulated glass,laminated glass U value decrease both in winter and summer.Other performance data,light transmittance,reflective,solar transmittance,SC and SHGC all change very little.
As we can see,the glass installation angle affect glass U value much,so don’t forget calculating the glass U value when glass is not installed vertically.
