Vacuum insulated glazing (VIG) represents a breakthrough in energy-efficient building materials. This paper examines the diverse applications of those products in residential, commercial, and heritage buildings, highlighting specific projects that demonstrate their adaptability and superior thermal insulation.
The need of appropriated product specifications will be detailed, focusing on the design challenge of load calculations to determine optimal thickness, balancing thermal performance with structural integrity. Additionally, the paper addresses legal challenges, including compliance with building codes and international standards.
This comprehensive overview will provide insights into VIG’s development, the strategic approach to overcoming design and legal hurdles, and its successful implementation in real-world projects, emphasizing its role in sustainable building technologies.
