OLD WINDOWS WASTE ENERGY

RADIATION– Heat radiates to cool– In the winter heat radiates through your windows– In summer the sun radiates into your home– 25% of heat loss in caused by radiation through windowpanes

INFILTRATION– A gap or crack as small as 1/16 inch will allow as much air to enter your home as a full brick missing from your wall

CONDUCTION– Heat naturally moves to the coolest area through all matter– An average home with 12 windows now has a hole in the wall about the size of 48 missing bricks– Conduction wastes about 3 times more energy than infiltration
