Why must an insulating glass unit (IGU) be fully sealed?

What will be an ideal response?


The air or gas filling within an IGU is required to be fully dry. The sealing of the unit prevents water vapor leaking
into the IGU, where it may condense and fog the unit. It also ensures that air or gas will not escape out of the unit.
