  2. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

    The glass panels in double-glazed windows transmit heat in both directions by radiation, through the glazing by conduction and across the gap between the panes by convection, by conduction through the frame, and by infiltration around the perimeter seals and the frame's seal to the building.

  3. Window insulation film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation_film

    [2] (see also insulated glazing). A typical window insulation film kit, consisting of plastic shrink film (folded-up) and a roll of double-sided tape. One commonly used film is a heat-shrink plastic which is attached to the window frame using double-sided pressure-sensitive tape. A hair dryer is used to remove creases and improve optical clarity.

    Clear double glazing has a U-factor between 1.8 and 3 W/(m 2 ⋅K) or between 0.3 and 0.5 Btu/(h⋅ft 2 ⋅°F) (about R-2) Clear triple glazing has a U-factor between 0.5 and 1 W/(m 2 ⋅K) or between 0.1 and 0.2 Btu/(h⋅ft 2 ⋅°F) (about R-3). Double and triple glazing are critical for energy efficiency. Single glass windows are no longer ...

  5. Dropwise condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropwise_condensation

    In dropwise condensation the condensate liquid collects in the form of countless droplets of varying diameters on the condensing surface, instead of forming a continuous film, and does not wet the solid cooling surface. The droplets develop at points of surface imperfections (pit, scratch), called nucleation sites, and grow in size as more ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_glass

    A building in Canterbury, England, which displays its long history in different building styles and glazing of every century from the 16th to the 20th included. Architectural glass is glass that is used as a building material. It is most typically used as transparent glazing material in the building envelope, including windows in the external ...

    The ideal gap size varies by location, but on average it ranges from 15-18 mm thick, giving a final assembly size of 23-26 mm assuming a typical glazing thickness of 4 mm. [9] A double-paned window with air in the gap has an R-value of 2.1, which is much better than the 0.9 that a single pane of glass yields. A triple-paned window, which is not ...

  8. Solar gain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_gain

    The shading coefficient (SC) is a measure of the radiative thermal performance of a glass unit (panel or window) in a building.It is defined as the ratio of solar radiation at a given wavelength and angle of incidence passing through a glass unit to the radiation that would pass through a reference window of frameless 3 millimetres (0.12 in) Clear Float Glass.
