This paper deals with the integration of highly insulating
vacuum glass products into contemporary window
constructions. Whereas the research regarding the
production of durable vacuum glass products has a
relatively long history, there are few research efforts
pertaining to the integration of such glass products into
window constructions. In the present contribution, we
deploy numeric thermal simulation to explore the effect of
different design and construction decisions on windows'
performance. Preliminary results suggest that an iterative
simulation-based approach has the potential to provide
detailed predictions of the components' thermal behavior.
Thus, initial designs can be reliably appraised and improved
alternative designs developed and virtually tested.
