Find affordable clarity in the Solarban® Acuity™ low-e glass series. Introducing Acuity™ low-iron glass — which is 60 percent less green than ordinary clear glass . The new Solarban® Acuity™ series by Vitro Architectural Glass provides the truly clear look you want with the outstanding performance of the full range of Solarban® solar control low-e coatings. Upgrading a low-e coated clear insulating glass unit to Solarban® Acuity™ glass will typically increase the total installed curtainwall cost by only $1–2 per square foot. Give a little, get it all.

*Like Solarban® Starphire® glass, Solarban® Acuity™ glass delivers a distinctive, highly transparent low-iron aesthetic.

At every Facades+ conference, we strive to bring fresh and relevant programming to each city and are ecstatic to be able to do so again in person. We have taken advanced precautions to ensure that this event will be safe for all attendees. Facades+ Boston brings together top professionals from the worlds of design, engineering, fabrication, and construction to consider how high-performance envelopes contribute to Boston's distinctive character and meet the city’s changing needs. We’d like to thank our conference Co-Chairs, Andrea Love, AIA, LEED Fellow and and Jeffrey Abramson, AIA, LEED AP who have helped curate this program of design leaders from a variety of fields.
