Thermal insulation energy efficiency tests have been carried out at the IFT Rosenheim Rosenheim. It is indicatively noted that the Uw coefficient for a I.V. 68 series window carrying 4-15-4 double glazing, is 2,4 W/m²K.


Thermal insulation laboratory test results are summarized below:


Table of laboratory results on thermal isnulation


The thermal insulation (energy efficiency) of windows is expressed by the thermal transmittance coefficient Uw. The Uw expresses the amount of thermal energy that is lost through a given window system and is measured in Watt per window surface per temperature (W/m2K).


A respective thermal coefficient also exists for glazing (Ug).
