Energy efficient translucent structure
Abstract:
Invention pertains to construction and installation methods for construction and renovation of production, public and residential buildings, in particular, to translucent barriers, therein windows, stained glass, glass facing, indoor winter gardens, atriums, clerestories, greenhouses, doors, indoor baffles and other structures both indoor and outdoor. Therein also may be integrated a solar panel, and electric heating elements, dehumidifier.The engineering advantage of the invention is an improved heat insulation design, protection from both outdoor cold and excessive heat from the sun, an improved resistance to fluctuations of temperature, improved noise cancellation, absence of a condensate at the glass surfaces, increased glazing area without traditionally associated heat loss, absence of a freezing of reveals, improved reliability regarding breaking in, reduced integrity loss risk resulting from fire (fire resistance), reduced convection and consequently increased isolation properties due to greater spacing between glass sheets, increased containment, simplicity of installation and replacement (repair) of IGU modules without disruption outer shell of the building (heating contour of the building) due to partial disassembly of the structure, increased resistance to potential impacts in transportation and installation. Translucent structure according to invention contains at least four glass sheets, joined together in at least two independent IGU modules (IGUs), each containing at least two parallel glass sheets distanced 10-1000 mm, the glass sheets in IGUs are glued together by a spacer frame and a sealant, and IGUs themselves are joined together by a thermo insulation reinforced frame, creating a sealed chamber in between IGUs.
