Abstract
A window unit for a building or structure comprises a first panel and a second panel each having an area transparent for at least a portion of visible light and a spacer spacing the first panel from the second panel. The spacer surrounds a space between the first and second panels. A first edge area of the first panel extends beyond a projection of the circumference of the spacer in a direction of a surface normal of the first panel. The window unit also comprises a housing incorporating at least one electric or electronic element which is indirectly or directly electrically coupled to at least one other electrical component positioned within the window unit. The housing is positioned at or near the spacer and at least partially within a projection of the circumference of the first edge area of the first panel in the direction of the surface normal of the first panel.
