2. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

   If the IG unit had a gas fill (e.g. argon or krypton or a mixture) the gas is naturally dissipated and the R-value suffers. Since 2004, there are also some companies offering the same restoration process for failed double-glazed units [25] in the UK, and there is one company offering restoration of failed IG units in Ireland since 2010.

3. Trombe wall - Wikipedia

   However, it is recommended to use the single glass with a shutter for the evening and night times, to offset its heat losses. High transmission glazing maximizes solar gains of the Trombe wall while allowing to recognize the dark brick, natural stones, water containers, or another attractive thermal mass system behind the glazing as well.

4. Window insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation

   The insulation provided by double or triple glazing can be further improved by selecting windows with low-e coatings, thermal breaks and argon or other similar gas between the panes, and also by selecting windows with high energy-efficient frames.

5. Passive house - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house

   The windows normally combine triple or quadruple-pane insulated glazing (with an appropriate solar heat-gain coefficient, [2] [60] low-emissivity coatings, sealed argon or krypton gas filled inter-pane voids, and 'warm edge' insulating glass spacers) with air-seals and specially developed thermal break window frames.

6. Glass in green buildings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_in_green_buildings

   Architects use high-performance double-glazed glass, which is laminated or coated, to moderate interior temperatures by controlling heat loss and gain. [3] The coating filters the heat-producing aspects of solar rays. The use of such glass in green buildings is used comprehensively in tropical climates as well as the Middle East.

7. Hermetic seal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_seal

   Green buildings may include windows that combine triple-pane insulated glazing with argon or krypton gas to reduce thermal conductivity and increase efficiency. In landscape and exterior construction projects, airtight seals may be used to protect general services and landscape lighting electrical connections/splices. Airtight implies both ...
