Using finite elements, the authors studied temperatures and thermal stresses in 1.41 m wide by 2.12 m high sealed double- glazed windows of 6-mm glass with a 12-mm air space between panes. The purpose was to find factors significantly influencing thermal stresses. Three types of commercially used windows subject to winter conditions (day and night) were analyzed: both panes clear glass; outer pane heat absorbing and inner clear; and outer clear with a metallic film on its room-side surface and inner clear. A sensitivity analysis included variations in size of window, gasket and sealant stiffness, frame absorption, solar heat flux, exterior air film conductance, and outdoor air temperatures (-5 and -25!C). Further, the influence of horizonta...
