Purpose of the course: They will gain the sensivity to understand how much the coated glass is effective for energy saving today, and they can use this knowledge directly in their life. They can have a knowledge about the basic light, energy transmittance, and color performance concepts. They can have a broad vision regarding the provided properties by means of the coatings on glass. They can also have an infrastructure in the level of making a selection between different coating methods at the point of the regeneration of the idea to the life.
