Dark tinted glazing
|
Dark tinted glazing behind the B-pillar contributes CO2 emission Saint-Gobain Sekurit measured the influence of dark-tinted glazing from the B-pillar on CO2 emission of air conditioning system (A/C).
The simulation of Saint-Gobain Sekurit points that dark tinted glazing behind the B-pillar reduces CO2 emission by about 1.6 to1.9 g/km (depending on the tint level and size of the glass surface). |
The application of dark tinted glazing behind the B-pillar decreases the additional fuel consumption caused by the air conditioning system by approximately 11 to 13%. This is equal to approximately 20 to 24 litres less fuel per 30.000 km. These results were confirmed by measurements.
Conclusion: Dark tinted glazing is an effective and easy way to implement technique to reduce CO2-emission of vehicles with A/C.
