Silica aerogels are excellent thermal and acoustic insulators with high porosity, very low density and low thermal conductivity. They are also highly translucent. These characteristics make aerogel a potential material for use in fenestration systems. The aerogels would conserve energy while transmitting natural light, and providing thermal and acoustic insulation. This talk will review methods for making aerogel-based windows.
