A u-value of 1.0 for generally 75%+ of a building envelope cannot be described as thermally efficient. Might be liveable and comfortable, but when that space is heated, it is not thermally efficient.

They're heat efficient compared to old ones, but even Pilkington's EnergyKare triple glazed argon filled K glass units still only perform as well as a 1970's clear masonry cavity wall.
