Energy saving tips for windows
Energy saving tips for windows
During the summer, you can reduce solar heat gain up to 50%. Sunlight can increase the demand on your air conditioner by as much as 30%.
Awnings can reduce the amount of heat transferred through your windows.
ENERGY STAR windows can reduce heat gain or loss by as much as 70%.
Tinted or reflective film can reduce the amount of electricity used to cool your space during the summer.
Single-pane, clear windows are poor insulators, allowing heat from the sun to transfer into your facility. This forces your air conditioning system to work harder to compensate for the heat.
