In testing, based on an average house containing 8% area of glazing in the entire building fabric (windows, walls, floor and roof), as much as 49% of the heat lost during winter and as much as 87% of the heat gained during summer can come from the windows.
Imagine the expense and carbon emissions that can be saved by reducing the energy that you use to heat and cool your house! |
