What is the thermal conductivity of glass?

The general characteristic value for thermal conductivity of basic soda lime silicate glass is 1 W/(m.K)

This value, for normal annealed glass without any further toughening, is not a precise requirement with which the glass shall strictly comply, but is the generally accepted figures for use in calculations where a high degree of accuracy is not required.
