• a transparent panel with a glass subassembly having at least two glass lites, a spacer member formed to span across and engage the marginal edges of said glass lites and to maintain a spaced relation therebetween, a first of the glass lites being located nearest to the product area and a second of the glass lites being located outwardly of the first lite, the second glass lite being formed of low-E glass and the first glass lite having a heat conductive film thereon;
• a molded frame sealably surrounding the outer periphery of the glass subassembly;
• a door control for hingedly mounting said door on one of the mullion members;
• and
• electrical means including the heat conductive film for heating the first glass lite of the transparent panel and means for connecting the heat conductive film to an exterior electrical power source.
