Argon gas

Argon gas is used as a filling in energy efficient windows. It is an inert gas that is used to reduce heat transfer between the inside and outside of a building. Because argon is denser than air, it is able to reduce the amount of heat that is lost through a window by limiting the movement of air in the space between the window panes. This can help to keep a building warm in the winter and cool in the summer, which can save energy and reduce heating and cooling costs. In addition to its insulating properties, argon gas is also a poor conductor of electricity, so it can help to reduce the amount of electrical conductivity in a window.
