IGDB historical versions, data access

Dear Community,

the IGDB has been around for quite a while. In context with a project concerning itself with Refurbishment and Re-Use of windows the question "what are the original properties of the existing IGU" is of interest.

We are thinking that one approach could be to use historical glazing / coating data. Often, the type of IGU is printed in the spacer, this together with the historic data could be a starting point.

I am looking for old IGDB files, therefore. Additionally, of course, it will be necessary to be able to read the old files. So, I am also looking for information on how to do this.

I would appreciate any hints and tips. Thanks. Achim
