Objectives:

To identify the potential barriers to the uptake of advanced glazings including their technical risks and durability.
To identify necessary supporting technology for advanced glazing systems, including framing technology, installation and maintenance.

To evaluate and propose feasible measures to overcome the potential barriers identified

The final report comprises: a review of performance issues, including the relevant physics; a review of performance testing; a 'state of the art' review of glazing types, from basic single glasses to the latest advanced glazings; issues affecting uptake of advanced glazings; a review of competing technologies; UK and world-wide issues affecting the uptake of advanced glazings.
