11. Conduction Conduction occurs when heat travels through solid objects. In a home, conduction is the most important factor in terms of energy loss.
12. Loose-fitting, leaky windows waste energy and money A 1/16” gap around a window = 1 brick 12 windows with 1/16” gaps = 12 bricks Air Infiltration Air infiltration occurs when the window frames and sash don’t fit tightly, leaving small gaps around the window. These gaps may be small, but they can cost you big money in energy bills.

25. E NERGY S TAR ® E NERGY S TAR ® is an independent government program labeling the energy efficiency of various products. Because the United States covers such a large area, E NERGY S TAR ® guidelines have been tailored to meet three specific regions. These regions are established for the window program.
26. Energy Star To be labeled as an E NERGY S TAR ® product, the U-factor and SHGC rating must be less than or equal to those established by E NERGY S TAR ® .
27. NFRC Rating U-Factor is the measurement of how much heat escapes through the product. The lower the U-factor, the better the product prevents heat from escaping. Solar Heat Gain Coefficient is a measurement of the sun-shielding properties of the product and its ability to absorb or reflect Solar heat. The lower the SHGC, the better the product is at protecting against heating caused by sunlight. Visible Trans is how Much light you can see coming through the window.

43. Full Metal Spacer Less Metal Spacer Super Spacer ® Condensation With conventional metal spacer, condensation is a fact of life. Mid-performance spacer systems which still contain metal improve condensation resistance. Patented silicone foam design dramatically reduces condensation delivering the clearest picture in warmedge technology.
