The paper is introduced by a short survey of heat‐transfer processes through a double‐glazed window system. Network calculations show the advantage of a double‐glazed window including at least one heat‐reflecting filter and an IR ‐trans‐parent foil. In the optimum system with one foil, the U L value is slightly below 1 W/m 2 K. Several insulating glazing systems with air and with krypton filling are compared, and all U L values are calculated. the application of an IR‐transparent foil to a solar collector is discussed, and the measured top losses are given.
