1. Why reinforced thermal insulation glazing?
As mentioned in the introduction, limiting heat loss from buildings is an increasingly constant concern. The aim is to limit heat loss not only through walls, but also through glazing. To achieve this, the most effective insulating glazing can be defined by analyzing heat transfer modes.
1.1 Heat transfer modes
Heat loss through glazing occurs in the same way as heat transmission: by convection, conduction and radiation.
