just received this:

CUIN insulating glass with suspended film is the most thermally efficient insulating glass unit (IGU) available on the market.It achieves centre pan U-values as low as 0.4 W/m²K in double glazed units.

CUIN technology will reduce the environmental impact of your building and reduce energy costs throughout the building’s life. It has low carbon footprint, is highly thermally efficient, will lower demands on HVAC, and provide a primary reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. CUIN negates the need for triple glazing. It eliminates triple glazing weight constraints to the framing system.


I've not used it... and this is not an endorsement... just interesting... It's one of the better mags... (an endorsement)...

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

Yeah once aerogel is transparent and cheap it will probably become the de facto thing to go in windows. It insulates well not just because it is mostly gas, but because it is mainly gas that is trapped in pockets so no convection or mixing happens.

Because of the refractive properties and the numerous angled surfaces of a gel, improving the optical clarity may be a real problem. What makes it a great insulator, also improves the translucency of it.

It's like a tangle of ultrafine human white hair, which is actually transparent, but the refractive properties make it appear to be white.
