How to Pick Windows
June 24, 2008 – 4:40 amIf you’re shopping for windows, you may have seen all sorts of labels out there. One of the the most important is the window’s U-value, which every manufacturer is required to list. Long story short, lower U-values are always better in terms of energy efficiency. You’ll also want to look for low-e coatings, which in warmer climates block heat and in colder climates keep warmth inside the home. Finally check for the Energy Star label. Windows with it are 15 to 40 percent more efficient.
