Energy efficient windows and replacement glass are essential for managing the energy costs of your home and office by decreasing your energy bills and increasing your property value in a tough real estate market. The way it works is Insulated Glass Units (commonly called IG units), are windows made from two or more pieces of flat glass separated by a sealed air space.
Insulated Glass Advantages are:
- Lower energy bills, by helping maintain a consistent temperature: In the summer, they reduce heat gain and in the winter they reduce heat loss.
- Most IG units qualify for federal income tax credits
- IG units reduce the tendency of condensation to form on the room side of the glass
- IG units help soundproof the home by reducing the level of noise from the outside.
- Increases the Resale Value of Your Home
Energy Efficiency
Its important to look for either the U-value or the R-value of the IG unit, depending upon the manufacturer. These Energy Performance Ratings are required for an ENERGY STAR label, but if the window does not qualify for ENERGY STAR you will have to ask before purchase.
- The U-value is a measure of the heat gain or loss through glass due to the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures. The lower the U-value, the less heat is transmitted through the glass.
- The R-value measures the overall resistance to heat transfer. The R-Value is the reciprocal of the U-Value. The higher the R-Value, the less heat is transmitted through the glass
