| Abstract: | A recent architectural current, mainly carried by a desire of building transparency proposed completely glazed facades, released from their function bearing and reduced to the role of envelope. In this case, the only manner of limiting to the maximum the losses in an entirely glazed building is either to build an entirely glazed additional skin, or to use the most efficient possible glazing. |
