The edge-construction of a glazing has an impact on the g-value of
the glazing, measured by calorimetric devices. If no insulation is
applied on the glazing edges (inside and outside) during
measurements, heat will be transferred by conduction through the
glass panes and through the spacer. The amount of energy
transferred and the direction of the energy flow depends on the
construction of the glazing (types of glass, coatings and spacer)
and on the interieur and exterieur temperatures during the
measurements. This paper gives an evaluation of the amount of
energy transferred through the spacer in two different glazings in
order to establish the maximum error that will result if no
insulation is applied on the edge of glazing during measurements.
