Multi-Paned Glazing

 

Target Scope


Multi-paned glazing, except the following:

1) ones using stained glass,

2) ones for which the total sum of the thicknesses of the glazing that constitute the multi-paned glazing exceeds 1 cm, or

3) heat reflecting glazing specified in JIS R 3221 (2002).

 

Heat Loss Prevention Performance


Heat loss prevention performance shall be heat transmission coefficient (W/(m2・K)) found by the method stipulated in JIS R 3107 (1998)*1.

*1: A separate method is established for multi-paned glazing that uses vacuum glazing.

 

Categories & Target Standard Values


In the target fiscal year and each subsequent fiscal year, the weighted average value obtained by weighting heat loss prevention performance with dimension shipped shall not be above the target standard value which is a weighted average value obtained by weighting standard heat loss prevention performance*2 with dimension shipped.

*2: For multi-paned glazing whose thickness of layer is from 2mm up to 16mm, values obtained from the standard heat loss prevention performance calculation formula.

Remarks:
  1. “Thickness of layer” is the distance of the space that occurs between the paned glazing placed side by side. In this case, the value is the total sum of the thickness of the layers when multiple layers exist in one multi-paned glazing.
  2. U and X indicate the following numeric values:
    U: Standard heat loss prevention performance (unit: W/(m2・K))
    X: Thickness of layer (unit: mm)
  3. In indicates the natural logarithm.

 

Target Fiscal Year


FY2022 and each subsequent fiscal year

 

Performance Improvement


Heat loss prevention performance is expected to be improved by 7.33% compared with the FY2012 level in the target fiscal year (FY2022).

* The improvement rate is calculated based on the assumption that the shipment share by layer thickness stays at the same level in FY2012.
