Unlocking Efficiency and Comfort: A Guide to Maximize Your Windows and Reduce Energy Bills

Maximizing Your Windows for Efficiency and Comfort

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, about 30% of your home's heating and cooling energy is lost through your windows. Upgrading your windows can significantly improve efficiency, keeping you comfortable year-round while reducing energy bills.

For Windows in Decent Condition:

If your windows are in good condition, there are things you can do to improve efficiency while saving money on energy costs – rather than having to replace the windows. First off, check for leaks. You’ll want to caulk and weatherstrip areas as needed. When looking at weatherstripping, consider the window's location and choose an appropriate option for the weather, temperature changes, and general use associated with its location. It will be important to consider if the panes slide up and down, sideways, or outward, as you’ll want the weatherstripping to seal well when the door or window is closed; however, it will also need to open freely.

Energy-Efficient Windows:

Investing in energy-efficient windows is a smart choice, especially if you plan on staying in your home for a decade or more. These windows incorporate advanced materials and features like multiple glass panes, window spacers, gas fills, and insulated frames to create a thermal barrier. They harness solar energy to heat the house or prevent excessive heat buildup. Consider the following tips from Energy.Gov when exploring energy-efficient windows: - Look for the ENERGY STAR and NFRC labels. - Opt for gas-filled windows with low-e coatings in colder climates to minimize heat loss. In warmer climates, select coatings that reduce heat gain. - Choose a low U-factor for better ther­mal resistance in colder climates; the U-factor is the rate at which a window conducts non-solar heat flow. - Look for a low solar heat gain coef­ficient (SHGC). SHGC is a measure of solar radiation admitted through a window. Low SHGCs reduce heat gain in warm climates. - Choose windows with both low U-factors and low SHGCs to maximize energy savings in temperate climates with both cold and hot seasons. - Look for whole-unit U-factors and SHGCs, rather than center-of-glass U-factors and SHGCs. Whole-unit numbers more accurately reflect the energy performance of the entire product.

For the munday ask thing!! 😄

on what platform did you start RPing? ; what do you think about AUs? ; what do you think about OCs? ; what was your first muse?

- @viciouslyfilthy

1) Facebook. I still rp on that but much less because that place is as toxic as cyanide

2)I love writing AUs

3) OCs are amazing and so are people who make them

4) A Transformers OC named Energyre

I am confused hopefully someone can explain! I went to buy a new 100watt daylight bulb. LED version is 13 watt. The Osram 13watt is €10 and has a D energy rating. The Philips also 13watts was €27 and had an A energy rating.

They are Both 13watt. Same energy consumption. How can one carry a A rating and the other a D?

Skateboard Designs: Energ-E Bought a new telly recently. Fairly disappointed in its energy rating (apparently, Brexit is to blame for this, great). So I figured some good should come out of it. #skateboard #skateboardart #allhandsondecks #digitalillustration #glasgow #graphicdesign #energyrating #energ https://www.instagram.com/p/CSH_14ZjUvm/?utm_medium=tumblr
