Image
Triple-pane windows are highly insulating (U=0.18) to slow heat transfer while letting in plenty of sunlight.
Image
Triple-Pane windows can be used as a tradeoff for continuous wall insulation or stricter air sealing targets when showing compliance with the 2021 IECC using the UA path
Image
Triple-pane windows use three panes of glass separated by gaps filled with krypton or argon gas, insulated spacers, and low-emissivity coatings to achieve high insulation performance
Image
