Carol Zolnerowich has joined Brinkley Sargent Wiginton Architects, a firm with offices in Dallas, Waco and Austin, Texas. In announcing the addition of Zolnerowich, the planning and architecture practice reaffirmed its commitment to client-centered planning.
Pittsburgh-based company PPG has come out with three new colors for their insulating glass units (IGUs), Ultra-Clear, Optiblue and Optigray. Two of the IGUs are Solarban 90 low-emissivity glass and they blocks heat gain 15 percent more effectively than the Solarban 70XL. PPG designed this glass to give architects more options when balancing performance and aesthetics for projects. In a standard 1-inch IGU, the Solarban 90 Optigray comes in a warm gray appearance with a high visible light transmittance (VLT) of 36 percent and a solar-heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.20.
