Vacuum insulated energy-efficient windows

真空隔热节能窗。该项目旨在通过钢化玻璃来提高其强度、平整度和安全性，开发比目前最好的三层玻璃隔热性能更高的大型真空隔热窗。在发达国家，性能更高的窗户减少了能源浪费，真空玻璃的薄外形意味着它们可以立即改造到建筑物中，而不会延迟更换建筑库存。预期的结果是，用于建筑物气候控制的能源使用量大幅减少，这是一个庞大且快速增长的能源部门，气候变化使其不可持续；通过可持续的城市气候控制实现快速的经济、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.
