Glass Education
High performance windows help increase your energy savings and your comfort at the same time.
When purchasing new window products, consumers should make special note of two things. The first would be the windows performance rating, and the second would be if those ratings qualify the product for the Energy Star program.
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) Energy Performance label is designed to help consumers identify a rating, or a measurement scale that is reflective of window’s performance. This will help the consumer to compare the energy performance.
The first thing that is important to consider is that the NFRC rates windows as a unit, which includes both the glass, also called glazing, and the frame.
Low-E Glass - Making the Difference.
The Intercept Spacer System is just one way of increasing your window’s performance. Low emissive glass, or Low-E glass, is an excellent way to increase your home’s comfort and energy savings year round.
Winter Thermal comfort
An older window with a lower glass temperature feels colder because more heat is radiated from a person’s body to the window. Cold glass can also create uncomfortable drafts as the air adjacent to the window cools and descends. This sets up the air movement and pattern that feels drafty and accelerates heat loss. High performance windows with lower U-Factors will result in a higher interior window temperature in winter and thus greater comfort. Proper installation, in conjunction with weather stripping, will form a tight seal around operable windows and improve comfort by reducing cold air leakage.
Summer Thermal Comfort
In summer, strong direct sunlight strikes people and interior surfaces, creating overheating and discomfort. Windows with low solar heat gain coefficients will reduce the solar radiation coming through the glass and associated discomfort. Energy efficient windows have specialized Low-E coatings to prevent heat build up and loss of temperature stability inside your home.

Energy Savings
The Energy Star program was created in 1992 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gases. Estimates indicate that $14 billion in energy was saved in 2006 alone. Energy experts determined that a large percentage of a home's heating and cooling escapes through inefficient windows. As a result, the Energy Star program was significantly expanded in 1995 to include homes. Since that time manufacturers have been labeling their window and door products that have passed a rigorous energy testing procedures as Energy Star rated.
At Atlanta Vinyl Windows we proudly install Energy Star certified replacement windows that are designed and manufactured to be energy efficient which saves you money.
Save Money on Your Taxes!
As part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 consumers who purchase and install specific products, such as energy-efficient windows, insulation, doors, roofs, and heating and cooling equipment in the home can receive a tax credit of up to $500 for improvements "placed in service" starting January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. The Energy Star web site has a complete summary of energy efficiency tax credits available to consumers. Take advantage of this savings while it's still available.
