The Energy Problem with Older Atriums
A thermal upgrade can reduce heat loss through atrium glazing by 60-80% and cut solar gain by 40-70%, making it one of the most impactful energy efficiency measures available to commercial building owners. Many atriums built before 2000 were glazed with single-pane or early double-glazed units that fall far below current thermal performance standards, driving up energy costs and creating uncomfortable conditions for occupants.
With energy costs continuing to rise and regulatory pressure increasing through EPC requirements and net-zero targets, upgrading atrium glazing delivers measurable reductions in both heating and cooling costs while improving the building's EPC rating and helping meet net-zero targets.
