Both - Conduction- the gap of air between two panes of glass. Convection - by sucking the air out However, don't say it will be 'prevented' (especially in an exam as you may lose marks!) it is only slowed down,
How does the heat pass through double glazing?
Heat travels through double-glazing by radiation.
Why is double glazing used to insulate?
Double glazing is used to insulate homes because it traps the cold air inside the to glass windows
Why is double glazing important?
Double glazing is important because it traps the heat in and stops it getting out. This stops you needing to turn the heating on and therefore you are using less energy. Double glazing also stops you breaking thew windows and stops drafts.

Does doble gazing works by preventing conduction and radiation?
double glazing prevents heat loss by radiation
What is the process of triple glazing?
Triple glazing is much like double glazing, except for the fact that there are three panes of glass. First, you have two panes of glass, separated by a vacuum, and a decanter to remove any water vapour. This is then repeated for a third pane of glass, to reduce heat loss by convection and conduction.
