About Energy Efficiency
Choosing energy efficient windows will make your home more comfortable, dramatically reduce your energy costs and help to create a brighter, cleaner and healthier environment.
Windows are possibly the most complex and interesting elements in the fabric of our homes. They provide light and fresh air and offer views that connect our interior living spaces with the great outdoors. However, windows can represent a major source of unwanted heat gain in summer and significant heat loss in winter.
Windows can severely impact the heating and cooling loads of a building. Between 46% and 61% of a home’s heating energy can be lost through windows and glazed doors and between 79% and 86% of its heat gained. Improving their thermal performance increases comfort and reduces energy costs and Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.
