Insulated Glass Solutions Create Windows that are 30% More Energy Efficient
Industry leaders partner on highly energy efficient insulated glass solutions for commercial windows and doors
Southwall Technologies and Dow Corning released on November 9th, the lightest weight and most energy efficient multi-cavity insulated glass available for large glass-intensive projects (according to claims by the companies). The product is the result of an energy-efficient Heat Mirror “S” film and 982FS two-part structural silicone sealant and is available for commercial buildings in North America. The multi-cavity insulated glass allows architects and window manufacturers to increase energy savings by up to 30 percent, block over 99 percent of UV radiation and reduce sound transmission by up to 20 percent over dual-pane glass. Video below.
The high energy efficiency of the multi-cavity insulated glass is the result of the suspension of one or more of Southwall's energy-saving Heat Mirror "S" films inside of an insulating glass unit to create two or more super-insulating cavities. This creates a high performance glass that is 33 percent lighter than typical triple-pane glass solutions. Southwall's insulated glass is compatible with Dow Corning 982FS two-part structural silicone sealant and Dow Corning 982-H Curing Agent and, when combined with these products, the Heat Mirror “S” film delivers greater energy efficiency than traditional dual-pane glass.
Southwall Single-film / Dual-cavity Heat Mirror Insulated Glass. With an optional Krypton gas filling, single-film/dual-cavity Heat Mirror Insulating Glass can achieve a U-value of 0.10 (R-value of 10).
Southwall Dual-Film / Tri-Cavity Heat Mirror Insulating Glass. With an optional Krypton gas filling, dual-film/tri-cavity Heat Mirror Insulating Glass can achieve a U-value of 0.08 (R-value of 12.5).
Southwall Tri-Film / Quad-Cavity Heat Mirror Insulated Glass. Three Heat Mirror films are suspended inside of an insulating glass unit, creating four air spaces. This is the most energy-efficient glazing product in the world, according to the company. With an optional Xenon gass filling, tri-film/quad-cavity Heat Mirror Insulating Glass can achieve an industry-leading U-value of 0.05 (R-value of 20).
“Until now, there has not been a viable super-insulating glass solution in North America for large-scale, structural glazing projects,” said Dennis Capovilla, president and chief executive officer of Southwall Technologies. “Dow Corning’s two-part silicone sealant provides a solution and opens up North America’s commercial building market to our industry-proven Heat Mirror technology.”
Dow Corning 982FS and Dow Corning 982-H Curing Agent are designed for use as secondary sealants in dual-sealed insulated glass units. Dow Corning has the only approved silicone sealants that can be used as a secondary edge seal in multiple pane insulated glass units using Southwall Heat Mirror “S” film. Curing to form a durable, long-lasting and flexible silicone seal that is chemically stable, 982FS creates a weather-tight bond and offers excellent unprimed adhesion to glass. The silicone insulated glass sealant’s unique weatherability enables it to retain design properties even after years of exposure, ultimately enhancing commercial buildings’ durability levels and structural capabilities.

From what I understand, Bermuda has done a lot of work using new and old tordwas sustainability on a resource limited island. You might want to look into what they do and then scratch the surface.Have you ever visited care2.com? It has a lot of info, numerous links, and then links to links. Don't forget to consider solar-thermal energy assistance and use; you pre-heat water or other materials stragetically placed and/or plumbed to reduce the solar power load. A lot of folks currently reducing thier grid use and/or going off the grid are returning to 12 volt systems or sub-systems. (It is my understanding that back in the day, obviously before my day, that 12 volt electricty arrived at homes long before the current 110/220.) Also, have you ever been to cityfarmer.org? It is out of Vancouver, BC and its goal is to promote city farming in the Vancouver area and world wide. Certainly at one time, it had a board for the posting of urban farming research, papers, and the more. It also had a posting of a guy who did a paper (thesis/thesis related I think) about establishing farming capabilities in poor, urban areas with limited water access and use. His area was some place in Africa. Posted were some dimensions and drawings of some raised beds using found scrap materials for the growing of lettuces and I think it was tomatoes. The beds included different levels and a slucing system that were arrived at. Included in the discussion were alternative material suggestions, critical technical aspects about the bed dimentions and slucing system, yield discussion, and future and alternative design considerations one could/should make. I'm not sure if this board or posting still exist but, the administrator can probably get you information from the archives. Certainly in the past, this was a good site for connecting to others doing urban and other food production exploration under different conditions.
