Sharing of General Loading in Double Glazed Units: The
When composed by two glass plates, they are commonly referred to as Double Glazing Units (DGUs). Due to the interaction between the glass plates and the gas, all the panes share a
FenestraPro for Forma Understanding Window to Wall Ratio
One of the earliest decisions that is made in the façade design process is what is the optimal percentage glazing, commonly referred to as the glass to wall ratio.
Insulated glazing
Most units are produced with the same thickness of glass on both panes but special applications such as acoustic attenuation or security may require different thicknesses of glass to be
Windows and Glazing | WBDG
SHGC indicates how much of the sun''s energy striking the window is transmitted through the window as heat. As the SHGC increases, the solar gain potential through a given window

Window Performance Components | Vitro Residential Glass
Materials used to fabricate the four major components of an insulated glass unit (IGU) can dramatically affect energy performance. Here are a few things to consider about each
Double Low-E Glazing
These values represent double glazing with a 1/2″ air gap. This figure illustrates the characteristics of a typical double-glazed window with a moderate-solar-gain low-E glass with argon gas fill.

This indicates that the influence of the “real” spacer geometry is higher when the ratio between spacer thickness and glass thickness is higher. The largest stiffness reduction is
Insulated glazing
OverviewHistoryConstructionPerformanceLongevityEfficiency rating
Insulating glass (IG) consists of two or more glass window panes separated by a space to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope. A window with insulating glass is commonly known as double glazing or a double-paned window, triple glazing or a triple-paned window, or quadruple glazing or a quadruple-paned window, depending upon how many panes of glass are use

It is estimated that approximately 70% of insulating glass units include some type of low‐E coated glass on one or more panes; approximately 30% use Argon gas fill; and in excess of 40%
