  Thermal insulated glazing unit (USH0000975)
An improved insulated glazing unit is provided which can attain about R5 to about R10 thermal performance at the center of the glass while having dimensions about the same as those of a conventional double glazed insulated glazing unit.
One or more rigid, non-structural glazings are attached to the inside of the spacer to divide the space between the inner and outer glazings to provide insulating gaps between glazings of from about 0.20 inches to about 0.40 inches.
An outer glazing and inner glazing are sealed to a spacer to form a gas impermeable space.

  Insulated glazing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Insulated glazing unit (commonly referred to as IGU) is a piece of glazing consisting of two or more layers (lites) of glazing separated by a spacer along the edge and sealed to create a hermetically sealed air space between the layers.
Insulated glazing is framed in a sash or frame as if it were a very thick piece of glass.
Often the insulating quality is used in reference to heat flow where the gap between glazed sheets is optimum at about one centimetre.

 Multiple layer insulated glazing units - Patent 4831799
A multiple pane insulated sealed glazing unit having two or more glazing sheets which are maintained parallel and spaced apart by a resilient spacing and sealing assembly which runs around the periphery of the sheets.
Insulating glass units generally consist of two or more parallel sheets of glass which are spaced apart from each other and which have the space between the panes sealed along the peripheries of the panes to enclose an air space between them.
For multiple glazed units where there are one or more inner glazing sheets, the edge of the inner glazing can be inset so that the outer perimeter channel is defined by the outermost glazing sheets of the unit.

 Insulated glazing unit - Patent 4171601
Frame member and insulated glazing unit including panes of glass held in spaced relation by a separator frame and a novel arrangement of adhesive and sealing material providing substantially continuous direct contact of the frame members with the panes to block passage of gas or vapor to the space between the panes.
Insulating glazing units are known in which glass panes are held by means of adhesive in desired relation to a separator frame defining a dead air space between the panes and in which a channel around the periphery of the assembly is filled with a sealant material.
The insulating glazing unit assembly can be completed by simply laying down the second pane 10 and applying a sealing substance 18 to the channel between the frame members 14 and the portions of the panes 10 and 12 beyond the lines of contact 20 with the separator frame member 14.

A list of commercially available glazings and glazing systems falling into these categories is provided in the Attachment along with their visible transmittance T and Shading Coefficient SC values as well as the corresponding modified light-to-solar-gain ratio, LSG’.
They achieve their spectral selectivity through a combination of tinting or dyes in the glass itself and coatings applied to the outside surface of the glass that are specially designed to reflect or absorb the near infrared portion of the solar spectrum while admitting much of the visible portion of that spectrum.
Without the second pane and the insulating air space, it is not possible to prevent some of the absorbed heat from conducting and convecting to the interior.

 Energy Conservation Strategies for Windows and Glazed Surfaces
The amount of sunlight that a glazed surface receives is largely dependent on its size, solar orientation and the time of day the measurement is taken.
Because glazing systems can differ greatly and their surrounding thermal environments are constantly changing, performance indicators do not remain constant and might vary slightly in an actual application.
Glazing is now typically the most thermally efficient component of the window system, with edges and frames reducing the overall R-value.

 Selecting Windows
Glazing is the generic term for the transparent or sometimes translucent material in a window or door.
Now, most windows incorporate sealed, insulated glazing (IG) units in which two or more glazing layers are sealed around the outside edge to prevent air or moisture from entering the air space, eliminating dirt and condensation between glazings.
The advent of high-performance windows is allowing larger glazing areas to be incorporated into house designs, in both new construction and renovations, without the penalty of either high heat loss in the winter or high heat gains during the summer.

As the team proceeded into the Construction Documents phase, further analysis of the 9/16-inch laminated glazing revealed that the actual U-value for the glazing was 1.12, as opposed to the value of 0.69 required to meet energy goals.
The 9/16-inch laminated glazing proved to be so strong that it was imposing blast loads exceeding 850 PSF on the framing members of the curtain wall system.
The increased performance of the glazing allowed the team to reduce the size of the chillers, pumps and cooling towers, offsetting the first cost of the glazing.
