Today, especially in large urban centres, huge amounts of energy are required for heating, electricity, air conditioning and generally to meet all the needs of a modern society. However, in order to meet all the above-mentioned needs, a great deal of energy is required, the uninterrupted supply of which necessitates a high consumption of fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. However, as these reserves are limited, it is necessary to take various measures to limit their waste so that they do not run out. Ideally, we would say that we want to preserve them until new technologies for their total depletion are found. Just one of the ways in which efforts can be made to save energy is by choosing more efficient domestic installations, combined with limiting, within reason, the energy consumption of each household. The use of glass as an insulating material is expanding and the advantages it offers are not only practical, they are also aesthetic.
Humidity is the presence of water in the form of water vapour in the ambient air and is an unavoidable component of it. At normal levels it is essential for the proper functioning of the human body, but problems arise when its levels are extremely low or higher than normal (40%; 50%). Space heating, ventilation, as well as the use of air conditioning or dehumidifiers are temporary and often ineffective solutions. One of the most effective ways to reduce humidity, which offers a definitive solution to the problem, is to insulate the room or building in question. Insulating glass panels, whether single, double or triple glazing, are insulation options that are capable of meeting the needs of even the most problematic spaces.
Today, large glazed surfaces on the exterior or even the interior of a building can also offer increased safety if they are designed properly. A glazed panel can also act as a barrier against dynamic attacks. More specifically, glazing offers both active and passive security. To explain this:
Active insurance includes:
Passive safety includes:
