Windows and Glazing | WBDG
A. Specifying Windows and GlazingsC. Other AttributesD. Opportunities and CautionsOther important attributes of window and glazing systems include: 1. Gas Fills—Inert gases such as argon and krypton are often injected between panes of glass to reduce conductive and convective heat transfer. These low-cost, gas fills reduce U-values without affecting shading coefficients or visible transmittance. 2. Fritting—Baked on ceramic coat...See more on wbdg psu

Many solar thermal energy conversion systems employ glass to reduce convective losses from the absorbing surface, increasing system efficiency. Glass is not perfectly transparent, with
