Double glazing was not possible but I quite like this solution. The ‘beads’ are less noticeable irl.

    It is as you suspected. The vacuum has very low conduction of heat and sound and is preserved by the small ‘beads’, if not, the two panes would simply be sucked onto each other. What do you mean by emissitvity?

      Low-e glass lets less IR through it, meaning less solar gain in the summer and less heat loss in the winter which has big energy savings. It’s very common in double glazed windows, at least in the US.

      Heat transfer. I suppose these would be “low-e” because of the vacuum, sort of like a thermos.
