My mother-in-law had commercial units put in her basement windows. They
consist of glass blocks with a two-block-size vent window in the middle.
They are held together with silicone. It probably prevents any nasty
thermal-expansion disasters since it stays flexible.
The Minnesota Zoo seems to think silicone and glass is good enough to keep
the animals and people apart...
