iq radiant energy windows Radiant Glass Window Systems

The most important and frequent application of IQ Glass™ is in the building industry, in the private and commercial sectors. IQ Glass™ can be used as a sole heating system or in conjunction with an existing heating system. IQ Glass™ is very popular in homes, conservatories, restaurants, etc.

  • When the heating system is switched on, the heat losses are smaller than those of a traditional glass system. In a traditional house, they are about 32 % to 38 % lower and 7 % to 15 % lower in conservatories
  • In conservatories, the need of heating depends mainly upon the comfort experienced by the users
  • The radiant comfort that is created by IQ Glass™ is, for an equivalent air temperature, much more comfortable than a much higher temperature
  • The need of effective heating in a conservatory with IQ Glass™ is significantly
  • lower than the calculated quantity
  • The U-value increases when outside air temperature goes down, because the considerable temperature differences cause a convection stream in the krypton blanket between both glass panes
  • Since the U-value of heated glass increases with the heating capacity, it is to be recommended in spaces with important glass surfaces: about 1/3 of the floor surface for houses and 1/2 of the floor surface for conservatories
