Who's that then? Do you mean building control?

In reality it'll make bugger all if any difference.

However, if you really wanna know for sure contact the manufacturer on 01744 692000 and ask for their technical department. http://www.pilkington.com/Applications/Products2006/english/bybenefit/thermalinsulation/kglass/

scroll down a bit and uou'll find the following:
'The glass in your windows absorbs heat then radiates it again on the colder, outside, surface. Pilkington K Glass™ has a so-called low emissivity coating which is positioned on surface 3 (counting from the outside) of the Insulating Glass Unit (IGU).'
