- differential heating; window breakage; two-pane and three-pane glass; glazing description; pure transmission expressed as percent of heat flux incident to glazing surface; average window breakage times and average total transmittance for the 305 mm×305 mm samples; average window breakage times and maximum total transmittance for the 609 mm×1219 mm glazing samples; glazing sample breakage times and temperature differential on the outer pane at time of glazing breakage for large-scale experiments. Times to first pane breakage and pane fallout are indicated
