The Thompson Hotel utilizes AGC’s Energy Select® 28 in a clear anodized curtain wall inside the hotel. On the ground level, the adjoined Marsh House restaurant is lined with Energy Select® 40 in a bronze framing. Each of these premier AGC Glass products provides exceptional solar blocking performance – important in cities like Nashville where air conditioning costs are a primary concern.

“We chose to work with AGC glass because it provided us with superior performance and design, all-in-one,” says Matt Spaulding, Associate with Hastings Architecture Associates, LLC. “The color rendition of the glass, in concert with its low reflectivity and consistency, made these products a perfect fit for the hotel’s spaces.”

Energy Select® 28 and Energy Select® 40 both maintain a high level of visible light transmission – 62% and 69% respectively. These particular AGC Glass products provide maximized building performance and indoor comfort, ideal for the stringent energy code requirements of the Thompson Hotel.

“AGC’s floor-to-ceiling glass brings a lot of light into the guest rooms, while maintaining privacy for the interior and a beautiful blue-to-gray color on the exterior,\” adds Spaulding.
