The regularities of heat transfer through a triple-pane glass window with air and argon fillings have been investigated by the method of numerical modeling. Distinctive features of this process have been elucidated which affect the increase in the thermal resistance of triple-pane windows compared to double-pane ones. The thermal resistances of the triple-pane window as functions of the gas-interlayer thickness and of temperature on the window’s exterior surface have been found.
