Buyers Guide to Windows While looking at efficient windows consider home and window design, as well as efficiency values. Size, shape, material, and design all contribute to the overall benefit of window replacement replacement in your home. It is important to consult a professional to see what the best fit is for your home.

Here are some ways to identify a windows level of efficiency: • U-value or U-factor measures the rate of heat transfer and tells you how well the window insulates. The lower the U-factor,

the better the window insulates. • Solar Heat Gain Coefficient Coefficient (SHGC) measures the fraction of solar energy transmitted and tells you how well the product

blocks heat caused by sunlight. The lower the SHGC, the less solar heat the window transmits. • Visible Transmittance (VT)  measures the amount of light the window lets through. The higher the VT, the more light you see. • Air Leakage (AL) measures the rate at which air passes through joints in the window. AL is measured in cubic feet of air passing through one square foot of window area per minute. The lower the AL value, the less air leakage. • Condensation Resistance measures how well the window resists water build-up. The higher the condensation resistance

factor, the less build-up the window allows.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What is the NFRC?

What factors contribute to the u-value?

 The National Fenestration Rat ing Council (NFRC) tests, certifies, and labels windows, doors, and skylights based on their energy performance ratings. The NFRC label provides a reliable way to determine a window’s energy properties to compare products.

 The energy pe rforman ce measured by the NFRC for windows is called the u-factor or u-value. The u-value rates the entire windows performance, including the number of layers of glass, glazing material type, and the thermal resistance of the frame and spacer material.
