The architect has used it in a disastrous way, not even taking note of the summer sun in Bangalore. Bad design.good material. Glass can be recycled 100%. It can be engineered with tiny photo voltaic cells to generate solar energy.It can be tinted to reduce uv rays... ( i could go on for ages). We follow 'westerners' because they put in lots of money and time into research of material technology, which we conveniently take from them. Solution: in this case tinting the windows would be an efficient. Glass is an amazing material.i love it.
