Low e (emissivity) glass
Emissivity is defined as “the relative power of a surface to emit heat by radiation.” Emit means to “throw or give off.” Low-E glass then is a special glass that has a low rate of emission. In other words, if there is a heat source inside your house (or outside!), the glass bounces the heat from that object back away from the glass. So, in the winter months, if you have Low-E glass in your home, the heat from the furnace is bounced back into your home.
In the summer, the same thing happens but in reverse. The sun heats things up outside of your house. This heat radiates from those objects and tries to get into your house. Of course, it tries to take the path of least resistance, that being the glass. With Low-E glass much of this heat bounces off the glass and stays outside.

"Your salesman was very good. I would not be afraid to have him call on anyone I know. I appreciated his not being a ‘hard sell’ salesman. I was also impressed with the installer. I stayed home to watch him put the windows in and left him alone to finish without any thoughts of him not doing a good job or bothering anything. Thank you.”"
