There is provided a paned window or door structure in which a plurality of Peltier cells are present. The paned elements have a frame with a fixed portion (2′) and a mobile portion (2″) in which at least one double glazing unit (3) is present, it being provided that in the interspace present in the double glazing unit, at an edge that is arranged in the mobile portion (2″) of the frame, a plurality of Peltier cells (11) are present. The Peltier cells are in contact with an element for dissipating heat towards the outside (12), made of optimal heat conduction material, which has a portion thereof (12′) arranged at the external surface of the door or window. On each of the cells (11), a sheet is superimposed made of material with high heat conductivity, acting as a heat sink (13) for dissipating towards the interior of the double glazing unit.

A paned window or door structure having a plurality of Peltier cells for environmental climate control,, the structure having a frame (2) including a fixed frame portion (2′) and a mobile frame portion (2″) wherein said mobile frame portion (2″) has at least one double glazing unit (3) defining a gap between glass panes, wherein in said gap at one or more edges of said mobile frame portion a plurality of Peltier cells (11) are arranged each in contact at a lower surface with a first heat sink element (12) adapted for thermal dissipation towards, an exterior and formed from a material of high heat conductivity and having a portion (12′) arranged at an outer surface of said frame (2), wherein each of said cells (11) has a sheet of high heat conductivity material disposed on an upper surface thereof acting as second heat sink element (13) for thermal dissipation towards the gap of said double glazing unit (3), wherein said Peltier cells (11) are supplied with electricity via an electric circuit (4) having a pair of contacts (20′, 20″) respectively arranged in the fixed (2′) and mobile (2″) frame portions, said electric circuit being equipped with means (9) for switching the polarity of the electrical power supply to said cells so as to cause inversion of the heating/cooling mode between said upper and lower surfaces of said cells.
