A method of reducing thermal transmission through a window system, comprising:
- positioning a thermal dampening device within an air pocket defined between a glass stop of a glazing assembly and a frame of the window assembly, wherein the thermal dampening device defines one or more discrete cavities;
- and
- reducing thermal transmission through the air pocket with the thermal dampening device.
A method of retrofitting a window system, comprising:
- removing a glass stop from a glazing assembly held within a frame of the window assembly;
- arranging a thermal dampening device such that it is positioned within an air pocket defined between the glass stop and the frame when the glass stop is attached to the frame;
- and
- reattaching the glass stop to the frame, wherein the thermal dampening device defines one or more discrete cavities.
