1. A glazing comprising:
- (i) a first glass sheet having a first surface and a second glass sheet having a second surface, wherein the first surface and the second surface face each other;
(ii) spacers between the first glass sheet and a second glass sheet to separate the first surface of the first glass sheet and the second surface of the second glass sheet by a distance to provide a space wherein the space contains substantially no gas; and
(iii) a liquid or solid containing substance containing substantially no gases at least partially filling the space;
wherein the spacers are fastened to at least one of the first glass sheet or the second glass sheet;
wherein the glazing has an upper edge, a lower edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, a width c, a height h, and a midline parallel to the lower edge and midway between the upper edge and the lower edge,wherein the spacers are non-randomly distributed on the first surface or the second surface without forming a peripheral rectangular shape, andwherein n spacers are distributed on the first surface or the second surface in a parallelepipedal shape in a homogenous distribution, wherein
n=[h/d−
