Thermal Performance

The Thermal Performance Calculator provides an estimate of the total thermal conductance of a VIG, as well as the average glass surface temperatures. The detail of the calcilation can be found in Background Theory here. The table of the calculated results can be downloaded as an Excel file by pressing the Download XLS button (available in desktop version only).
