Hi I've been working on a project where I want to purse this pilot credit. I only have few information on glass, just the thermal transmittance and the solar factor (which is 0.35). I've been looking at Bird Collision Deterrence Material Threat Factors developed by the American Bird Conservancy but I have doubts in which category I'm in. How can I established the threat factor? Thanks

Hi R2M, Unless your glass has fritting or UV etching that will disrupt views and reflections (at least for birds, which see UV light much more than humans), it's all considered "clear glass".
