Vacuum insulated energy-efficient windows

真空隔热节能窗。该项目旨在开发具有比目前最好的三层玻璃更高隔热性能的大型真空隔热窗，通过钢化玻璃来增加其强度、平整度和安全性。在发达国家，性能更高的窗户可以减少能源浪费，真空玻璃的薄型意味着它们可以立即改装成建筑，而不需要延迟更换建筑库存。预期的结果是大幅减少用于建筑物气候控制的能源使用，这是一个气候变化使其不可持续的大型且快速增长的能源部门；并通过城市的可持续气候控制迅速产生经济、社会和环境效益。

Vacuum insulated energy-efficient windows. This project aims to develop large vacuum insulated windows with higher insulation performance than triple glazing, the best currently available, by toughening glass to increase its strength, flatness and safety. Higher performance windows reduce energy wastage in the developed world, and vacuum glazing’s thin profile means they can be retrofitted into buildings immediately, without the delay of replacing building stock. The anticipated outcome is a major reduction in energy use for climate control in buildings, a large and rapidly growing energy sector that climate change makes unsustainable; and rapid economic, social and environmental benefits through sustainable climate control in cities.
