NSG Group’s Advanced Vacuum Insulating Glass “Super Spacia” Wins Grand Prize for Excellence in Energy Efficiency and Conservation

Super Spacia®, an advanced vacuum insulating glass by NSG Group, has been awarded the Agency for Natural Resources Director-General's Prize in the products and business model category of the 2017 Grand Prize for Excellence in Energy Efficiency and Conservation.

Following the previous awards for Spacia® vacuum glazing glass (1998) and Spacia® 21 double glazing vacuum glass (2013), this is the third Grand Prize for NSG Group's vacuum glazing glass products.

Sponsored by the Energy Conservation Center, Japan and supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Grand Prize for Excellence in Energy Efficiency and Conservation was established to promote energy conservation in Japan by recognizing outstanding energy conservation activities and advanced energy conservation products.

Launched in October 2017 and just 10.2 mm thick, Super Spacia® has improved the insulating capability by 54% (thermal transmission rate of 0.65W/m2･K) over Spacia® to deliver the performance equal to 50 mm glass wool used in a typical insulation material.

NSG Group will continue to develop and provide VA (value-added) products, such as Super Spacia®, capable of contributing to energy conservation.

The award-winning products will be on display at ENEX2018 Energy and Environment Exhibition to be held February 14 - 16 at Tokyo Big Sight.
