Energy Efficient Windows & Home Preformance with Energy Star
Windows are a significant source of transmission heat loss in cold climates. Thermal Transmittance (U-Factor) and solar heat gain are the most important energy considerations for windows.

|
A significant cause of energy loss is due to air leakage from windows. Air leakage from windows can
reduce indoor comfort. Energy Efficient windows have a greater ability to prevent air leakage, or energy
loss.
The window industry quantifies a windows ability to prevent energy loss by a measure called the U-Factor. Windows with a low U-Factor are most energy efficient, the lower the U-Factor the lower the
chance of energy loss.
Low U-Factor windows provide benefits for all climates; they help retain heat in colder climates and
reduce solar heat gain in warmer climates, directly reducing your energy loss. A reduction in energy loss
will reduce your energy consumption which will reduce your energy cost.

Home Performance with Energy Star
Do you have comfort problems like drafts?
Are rooms hard to heat or cool?
Do you have high energy
bills?
Do you have mold or moisture damage?
Symptoms might be obvious, but sometimes the source of the problem is not evident.
Is it your heating
system?
Should the home be more air tight?
Do you need insulation?
Should you replace the windows?
Your home is a system. Everything is connected. The relationship between all the systems in the house is
the key to the homes overall energy performance. Having an energy audit or a comprehensive home
assessment will help us find the source of your homes problems. Once an assessment is complete and
work to be done is presented along with Federal tax rebates, cash back, and low interest loans for
improvement towards making your home more energy efficient. View Brochure.
