Ways that windows may continue to contribute to building energy efficiency include: • Insulation Filled Glazing -- "There are several options for highly insulating windows with aerogel, honeycombs, and capillary tubes located between glazing panes. These materials provide diffuse light, not a clear view" [Center for Sustainable Building Research -- University of Minnesota (CSBR-UMN)
