Single-Pane Window Efficiency Workshop
ARPA-E held a workshop on “Single-Pane Window Efficiency” at The Hub’s CityView Conference Center in Philadelphia, PA from November 6-7, 2014.
This workshop addressed the technological, cost, and market barriers that impede efficiency improvements to single-pane windows. It brought together experts on windows and building envelopes, manufacturers of current low-cost technologies for improving single-pane windows, researchers working on advanced materials for window retrofits, and a representative group of the building owners and operators who make window retrofit decisions. The outcome of the workshop will be a roadmap of research and other actions to significantly increase the rate at which single-pane windows are being upgraded, and metrics to guide future research on the problem.
