Insulating Glass Unit (IGU)

What is the Insulating Glass Unit (IGU)?

IGU, more commonly known as double-glazed glass, consists of two-three glass window panes that is separated by inert gases in order to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope. As a result, buildings can see a reduction in HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) usage which is a comfort to any company’s annual savings and energy consumption rate. Companies can assure stakeholders of the performance of their products with SIRIM QAS’s Insulating Glass Unit testing and certification services. Compliance with applicable standards will enable exporters to meet any importing country’s regulatory requirements.
