2. Quadruple glazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruple_glazing

   Quadruple glazing is a subset of multipane (multilayer) glazing systems. Multipane glazing with up to six panes is commercially available. [1] Multipane glazing improves thermal comfort (by reducing downdraft convection currents adjacent to the windowpane), and it can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by minimising heating and cooling demand.

3. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

   EURO 68 wooden window profile with insulated glazing. 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 ...

   Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) is a type of fiber-reinforced concrete. The product is also known as glassfibre reinforced concrete or GRC in British English. [1] Glass fiber concretes are mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as architectural precast concrete. Somewhat similar materials are fiber cement siding and cement ...

8. Building insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

   Common building materials that are poor insulators include glass and metal. A building design may have limited capacity for insulation in some areas of the structure. A common construction design is based on stud walls, in which thermal bridges are common in wood or steel studs and joists, which are typically fastened with metal. Notable areas ...
