Solar Gard provides a cool façade for ASEM Tower
The ASEM Tower in Seoul, South Korea is one of the most coveted commercial addresses in the country. The breathtaking structure stands at an impressive 42-stories high and boasts 1,450,000 square feet (135,000 square meters) of office space. Since the facade is comprised mainly of glass and its broadest faces stand in the direct path of the sun, office workers suffered through intense heat and distracting glare.
To solve the problem, building management retrofitted the two largest faces of the building with 80,000 square feet (7,400 square meters) of Solar Gard Silver 20. The results were ideal. Room temperatures decreased by 7° to 11° F (4° to 6° C), utility costs went down, and tenants were able to work more comfortably.
