French term

vitrage respirant

French to English Other Construction / Civil Engineering
A type of glazing used for an office building that is 'opacifié par les dépôts' (for which I will shortly post a second question). A panel of the glazing has been removed from the outside for analysis as 'les filtres de respiration ne pouvant être déposés que de l'extérieur'. A pollution issue seems to have arisen in the building and so the glazing is having to be analysed.

… as to fill the space between the glass sheets with gas, and also to be able to undertake pressure balancing when the glazing unit has been manufactured in a location where atmospheric pressure is different from that of the point of delivery, or else the hole or holes may allow controlled circulation of air between the glass sheets so as to constitute a breathing glazingunit very useful, for example, for an oven door.

Parieto-dynamic windows and breathing glazingare very efficient because they are used both as solar collector and air preheating system.
Fresh air taken in through the triple glazing frame is introduced at a comfort temperature, almost thetemperature of the room. This component is associated with a mechanical extract-air ventilation system.
