The concept of minimalist architecture is to strip everything down to its essential quality, to achieve simplicity of design. The expanded use of large windows and external doors maximizes natural light and visually opens up the space between interior and the exterior. However, it can come with a cost such as a conflict with energy conservation,thermal comfort and the efficiency of the heating system.
IQ Radiant Glass™Window Systems bring an entire new dimension to the architect’s goal of balancing the relationship between the inhabitants, the setting, and the building.The unique quality of IQ Radiant Glass™ is that it not only supports the design but also provides an invisible heating system from the glass itself. The open design comes with a totally new function, thermal comfort. The thermal efficiency of the building’s envelope achieves thermal efficiency levels previously unheard of for traditional windows and glass doors. Gone is the cold glow, cold drafts and unwanted condensation common to ordinary glass. Remarkably, instead of losing heat, the windows generate heat.
The use of IQ Radiant Glass™ provides a new tool for the architect to meet the aesthetic goals set with the client without sacrificing thermal comfort, building efficiency and security.
