ORAÉ®

COOL-LITE® XTREME ORAÉ® provides the best of both embodied and operational carbon levels, thanks to:

• The exceptionally low carbon footprint of ORAÉ®, produced by combining high recycled glass content (around 70% of cullet, of which 55% of external cullet) and renewable energy. As a result, the new product offers the lowest carbon footprint on the market with a reduction of around 40% compared to our regular product.
• The excellent energy performances of the COOL-LITE® XTREME coatings, which already drastically reduce carbon emissions generated by energy consumption, when using the building thanks to its high performance in terms of daylight intake, solar control and thermal insulation.

ORAÉ® is offering exactly the same aesthetics than the regular clear float glass PLANICLEAR®.

Combined with COOL-LITE® XTREME, the low external reflection as well as the extremely colour-neutral external appearance creates an excellent combination of function and aesthetics.

COOL-LITE® XTREME ORAÉ® is available in standard sizes and thicknesses (4, 6, 8 and 10mm).

In complementarity to COOL-LITE® XTREME ORAÉ® assembled in double or triple glazing, the uncoated ORAÉ® as well as our low-e PLANITHERM® ORAÉ® are also available for the counter panes.

COOL-LITE® XTREME ORAÉ® provides the same performances and quality as COOL-LITE® XTREME PLANICLEAR®, with a much lower carbon footprint.

The new ORAÉ® substrate has an estimated carbon footprint of only 7 kg CO2 eq/m2 (for a 4mm substrate), bringing a reduction of the carbon footprint around 40% compared to our European standard product PLANICLEAR®.

Coated, processed and assembled in insulated glazing unit, the reduction is then around 25% to 30%.

Global Warming Potential (GWP) A1-A3 Stages: The GWP values with ORAÉ®, are estimations based on our Life Cycle Assessment model. Data were collected during the 4 ORAÉ® campaigns made in 2022. The detailed environmental data will be documented through third party-verified environmental product declarations – EPDs – which are currently under development and scheduled for availability in early 2023. Calculation of GWP with ORAÉ® will be available on www.calumenlive.com early 2023, after the publication of the verified EPD.

Global Warming Potential (GWP A1-A3 Stages) values with PLANICLEAR® are calculations made with CalumenLive regarding the composition computed based on the standard EN 15804+A2. Estimations based on the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of our products. Only complete Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) can be verified by an external third party. GWP calculations of any glazing configuration with PLANICLEAR® can already be made on www.calumenlive.com.

All panes of the DGU with the same substrate; first pane respectively annealed or tempered (II) with the same glass compositions; counter panes always annealed.
