Conclusion \u2013 Key Findings of the Study<\/h2>\r\nThe energy simulations conducted demonstrate that vacuum insulated glazing (VIG) enables significant reductions in the energy consumption of a representative office building in a Canadian climate. <\/span>Compared to existing double glazing, VIG reduces total energy consumption by up to approximately 20% and heating demand by nearly 45%, while consistently outperforming triple glazing systems. <\/span>These results confirm the strong potential of VIG technology to improve both energy efficiency and thermal comfort in commercial buildings, particularly in renovation projects and cold-climate building design.<\/span>","var_type":"0","var_align":"0","opt_anchor":"","opt_caption_tag":"","opt_title_tag":"","opt_theme":"0","opt_text_color":"","opt_background_color":"","opt_border":false,"opt_space_top":"","opt_space_bottom":"","opt_background_image":"","opt_background_overlay":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"cube_0","has_caption":false,"caption":"","has_title":true,"title":"References of Completed Projects","has_body":false,"body":"","has_footer":false,"button_group":null,"content":"Here are a few buildings that have integrated Enthermal\u2122 technology:<\/span>\r\n
