Thinking Green

The ‘Built Environment’ –  man made buildings including our homes and offices – is responsible for 52% of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.  Whereas automobiles and light trucks account for only 9%. By reducing the Energy we use in our homes and businesses, we can get the biggest bang for the buck in Energy Savings.

Windows represent the single largest opportunity for improvement.

39% of all emissions are tied to building operations, with 38% of that for heating and cooling.

Up to 40% of all energy cost – literally goes out the window.

Wasted energy results in over 250 million tons of emissions per year.

By Using Energy Efficient Windows Like Serious Windows, we can make a substantial dent in those figures

For Example:

Today’s good quality, dual-pane commercial or residential windows are typically R-1 to R-3.  ( A typical  Wall  is R-13).

Serious Windows  full frame window performance  is rated from R-5 to R-11.( U factors .19  to .09)

This performance is up to four times higher than most  Energy  Star rated Brands ( U Factor .30 = R 3.3)
