Basically for energy efficiency. The center pane in triple pane windows is UV tinted to limit sunlight into the home and as double pane have an inert gas, usually Argon, to prevent heat and cold transfer.

  Oh you SO MUCH for your explanation. Now I think I understand. This is greatly appreciated.
  
  By chance, do you know the best 3-pane brands on the market in the DFW, TX area?
