Vacuum glass windows could slash energy costs, transform building design
Vacuum glazing (VG) is a new type of window technology that provides excellent thermal insulation and is lighter and thinner than traditional double or triple-glazed windows. Researchers compared the performance of buildings with VG versus regular insulation glass. They found that buildings with VG had better thermal performance, meaning they were better at keeping heat inside. This suggests that using VG in construction could lead to more energy-efficient buildings.
