With ORAÉ®, Saint-Gobain Glass has achieved a landmark technical breakthrough enabling it to offer a low embodied carbon glass onthe market thanks to a substantial R&D effort and the excellence of our industrial teams. Its low carbon footprint of 6.64 kg of CO2 eq./m2 for a 4 mm glass, is achieved through the use of high amount of recycled content (64%) and renewable electricity. This innovation will help to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of construction and accelerate the development of the circular economy.

PerformancesIntended for use in the glazed parts of a façade (e.g., curtain wall, double skin façade, skylight), COOL-LITE® ORAÉ® is a perfect response to the stricter sustainability requirements of the building industry without any compromise on technical or aesthetic performance.
Cradle to Cradle Certified® version 4.0 certification
COOL-LITE® ORAÉ® is Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze. Cradle to Cradle Certified® V4.0 assesses products based on five rigorous categories: material health, product circularity, climate air & climate protection, water & soil stewardship, and social fairness.
As part of achieving certification, it received a Platinum rating for Product circularity thanks to its high recycled glass content.
"Solar Impulse Efficient Solution" Label
In line with our resolute dedication to innovation and sustainability, ORAÉ® has been certified with the "Solar Impulse Efficient Solution" Label.
ORAÉ® joins the other 1,500 'Efficient Solutions' that have successfully completed thorough evaluations under the Solar Impulse Foundation initiative. Independent experts have assessed our solution regarding various aspects including feasibility, scalability, environmental impact, and profitability.
ORAÉ® can be used for new buildings or renovation, residential or non-residential. ORAÉ® can replace standard clear glass of the same
thickness, whatever the application:
• Building envelope: insulating glazing for windows, facade elements or glass roofs.
• Other external or internal applications (e.g., balustrades, doors, partitions), upon request.
ORAÉ® is available as combined with the highly selective solar control product families COOL-LITE® XTREME and COOL-LITE® SKN:
According to its verified EPD, coated ORAÉ® has a carbon footprint of only 10.71 kg CO2 eq./m2 (for a 6mm substrate), bringing a reduction of
43% compared to our European standard product coated PLANICLEAR®.
