ENERGY STAR is a government-sanctioned symbol for energy efficiency, credibility, sustainability and cost-savings for consumers. To explore what’s required to become ENERGY STAR-certified and what it looks like in your region, browse below.
U-Factor measures the rate at which heat flows through an object. The lower your U-value, the less heat your windows allow through them.
R-Value determines how well the insulation inside your window is performing. The higher your R-value, the better insulated your window is.
Window World of Youngstown is located in ENERGY STAR’s Northern Climate category. To maintain certification here, our windows and doors must maintain a U-Value of ≤ .27 and an R-Factor from 13 to 21.
Low-E glass is a type of glass that has been treated with a microscopic, metallic coating designed to filter certain types of light into your home. The glass blocks heat gain from the sun’s reflected rays in warmer months and allows warmth from the sun’s shorter rays to flow into your home during cooler seasons.
Our Intercept™ warm-edge spacer system is a new-age technology used to extend the shelf-life of window glass by reducing condensation build-up and edge-to-glass temperatures. Designed to seal in escaping heat, this spacer system is the most effective of its kind.
Argon is a colorless, odorless and nonreactive insulating property with extremely high density and extremely low thermal conductivity, making it an ideal agent for year-round comfort.
When it comes to making your home energy efficient, there really is no risk. The payoff is not only significant, but also tangible. You will reap the benefits in comfort and energy savings. Energy-efficient products are an investment that pay for themselves time and time again.
