Implementing the A²Zero Carbon Neutrality Plan Session VII:
High Performance Glazing Technologies and Vacuum Insulated Glass
Evolving energy standards and architectural trends put greater emphasis on glazing performance than ever
before. This course reflects on traditional glazing systems, limitations, and opportunities to dramatically
improve the thermal efficiency of the building envelope through emerging technologies. Attendees will gain insight into how glazing systems affect overall wall performance and a core understanding of high-performance glazing components & assemblies including vacuum insulated glass. Architects will learn how to evaluate and specify these products to meet specific project requirements, enhance building performance, and increase occupant comfort.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
– Explain common insulated glass performance measurements and the impact of glass on total wall
performance.
– Discuss the fundamentals of insulated glass and traditional technologies.
– Describe the technology and performance of vacuum insulated glazing and its impact of envelope
performance.
