SolarCool and LHR Installations
Harold Donley was a research chemist at PPG Industries Glass Research Center in Pittsburgh. Harold discovered and developed the process for one of PPG's solar control architectural glasses, marketed as SolarCool after having worked on refinements of a previous reflective architectural glass coating, LHR. These products are installed at various locations throughout the world. Some of those installations are listed below.
