Abstract. We derive an expression for the heat flux through a window constructed with
multiple panes of glass separated pairwise by air layers of a given thickness.
We compute the relative heat loss reduction achieved in comparison to a window
with no air gap and the same amount of glass. We examine how the relative heat
loss reduction function behaves when we scale the number of panes up to a
large value.
