Windows
Installing, high-performance windows will improve your home's energy performance. If your home has very old and/or inefficient windows, it might be more cost-effective to replace them than to try to improve their energy efficiency. New, energy-efficient windows eventually pay for themselves through lower heating and cooling costs, and sometimes even lighting costs. When properly selected and installed, energy-efficient windows can help minimize your heating, cooling, and lighting costs. Improving window performance in your home involves design, selection, and installation.
​
If your home has single-paned windows, as many U.S. homes do, consider replacing them with new double-pane windows with high-performance glass. In colder climates, select windows that are gas filled with low emissivity (low-e) coatings on the glass to reduce heat loss.
​
If you are building a new home, you can offset some of the cost of installing more efficient windows because they allow you to buy smaller, less expensive heating and cooling equipment.
​
Efficient windows may have two or more panes of glass, warm-edge spacers between the window panes, improved framing materials, and low-e coating(s), which are microscopically thing coatings that help keep heat inside during the winter and outside during the summer.
