2. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

   A typical installation of insulated glass windows with uPVC frames. Possibly the earliest use of double glazing was in Siberia, where it was observed by Henry Seebohm in 1877 as an established necessity in the Yeniseysk area where the bitterly cold winter temperatures regularly fall below -50° C, indicating how the concept may have started: [2]

3. Double-skin facade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-skin_facade

   The double-skin façade is a system of building consisting of two skins, or façades, placed in such a way that air flows in the intermediate cavity. The ventilation of the cavity can be natural, fan supported or mechanical.

4. Building insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

   The resistance to conducted heat loss for standard single glazing corresponds to an R-value of about 0.17 m 2 ⋅K⋅W −1 or more than twice that for typical double glazing (compared to 2–4 m 2 ⋅K⋅W −1 for glass wool batts [38]).

5. Window insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation

   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 ...

6. 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.

7. Architectural glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_glass

   Insulating glass, or double glazing, consists of a window or glazing element of two or more layers of glazing separated by a spacer along the edge and sealed to create a dead air space between the layers. This type of glazing has functions of thermal insulation and noise reduction.
