Technology status: Phase 2
Framework project ViBau

Next Step: Vacuum insulation glass

Vacuum instead of inert gases - with this technological development, glazing could take another great developmental stride. However, at 10 tonnes per square metre, the atmospheric pressure on evacuated flat glazing is immense. And for evacuated glazing, the same applies as for vacuum panels: only a lasting vacuum guarantees good thermal insulation. Now, this research project is to provide evidence that evacuated glazings with special functional layers are technically feasible for architecture.
