| Window Replacement in your Maryland Home |
| There are a lot of companies installing “ Energy Efficient” windows. But not all of them are created equal. Here are some facts you should be aware of. |
|
| |
 |
Look For The NFRC Label NFRC is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to provide uniform,accurate information about the energy performance of windows,doors and skylights. In addition to publishing consensus standards(for consistent ratings), a third-party certification and labeling program to provide the window buyer with verified product information. So look for an NFRC label on windows to compare products on a fair and equal. |

Compare Product Performance, The NFRC label provides information on how a window performs. The two most important energy ratings are U-factor and Solar Heat Gain. By reviewing the label information, consumers can make an informed choice about the product that is best for their individual situation. |

Whats the R-value of the windows? R Value is a measurement of the windows resistance to heat loss, the higher the R value the more energy efficient |
|
| |
|
Whats the U- factor? U factor measures the heat transfer through the windows. U factor ratings generally fall between 0.20 and 1.20.Therefore the lower the U factor the lower the amount of heat loss. |
|
| |
|
What is SHGC ( solar heat gain) measures how well a product blocks heat from the sun. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower the SHGC, the better a product is at blocking unwanted heat gain. Blocking solar heat gain is particularly important during the summer cooling season. |
