Löffler, M (1997) Foamglass as spacer in multiple-glazing. Building Research & Information, 25(2), pp. 107-110. ISSN 0961-3218
Abstract
The author claims that the new design for windows has a number of important advantages, including an increase in the transparent area encouraging greater solar gain; lower heat flux through a well-insulated window having a positive impact on the indoor climate and relatively high inside surface temperatures.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
