How Can Glass Curtain Wall Effectively Avoid Building Light Pollution | JINGWAN

Next, the curtain wall manufacturing Jingwan engineering tells us how the glass curtain wall can effectively avoid building light pollution.

Building light pollution, also known as dry light pollution (noise), refers to the use of coated or coated glass in the curtain wall of high-rise buildings.Glare caused by the specular reflection of glass when sunlight and artificial light hit the surface.This is a notable feature of the modern era of tall buildings, and while glass curtain walls add color to the city, there is also an increasingly common problem of “dry light”.

At present (noise) dry light pollution has been identified as one of the largest forms of pollution in the world, but this kind of impact is latent, human’s dependence on light source, we ignore its existence.

However, this kind of light damage is indeed a great threat to human health. For example, it damages cornea and iris of human eyes, leading to decreased vision, increasing the incidence of cataracts, and even some high-intensity ultraviolet light sources may cause nosebleeds, tooth extraction, cataracts, even leukemia and cancer.

Glass curtain walls are also a form of white light pollution.In the season with intense sunshine, the adornment of brick of wall of tempered glass building, smooth surface, aluminum alloy board, polished granite, marble and white coating compares the reflection coefficient of building of green steppe, forest, brunet or wool brick is big 10 times left and right sides, exceeded the range that human body can bear greatly.This reflection of light can damage the cornea and iris of the eye.

In order to solve the problem of glass curtain wall reflection, the company’s construction technicians put forward three suggestions:

First, choose rough materials, such as ground glass, rather than full reflective glass;

Secondly, pay attention to the installation Angle of the glass curtain wall, try not to use it in concave and inclined buildings;

Finally, double glazing can be installed inside the glass curtain wall, and the black light absorbing material can be attached to the light absorbing material, which can absorb a lot of light and avoid the reflected light affecting the public. Using our accumulated experience, we can reduce light pollution as far as possible!
