Windows and Doors for the
Energy-Conscious Homeowner
​
At Improve Energy, we help homeowners make an impact on their energy consumption through our energy-efficient windows and patio doors.
​
Leaky and inefficient windows, skylights and doors account for poor insulation and higher energy usage in households. Energy loss can happen in two ways and a lot depends on where you live:
​
• Cold climates lose energy in the form of heat
• Hot climates lose energy in the form of cooling
Tested and Built for Your Climate
​
All our windows and patio doors are designed to meet tough
thermal and solar requirements of state and local jurisdictions.
​
We conduct thermal simulations to improve energy performance in our windows and patio doors
so our consumers can enjoy a more comfortable home. We make it easy to meet local energy codes
and green building efficiency standards with a selection of performance enhancing features.
Understanding Energy Efficient Windows
-
Save Money on Heating and Cooling
-
Increased Value During Resale of Home
-
Added Aesthetic Beauty and Increased Comfort
-
Energy Efficiency is Better for the Enviornment
Window Manufactures use up yo three common techniques to maximize the energy efficiency of Windows
-
Multiple Glass Panes
Multiple panes od glass provide greater protection from energy loss. High efficiency windows often incorporate anywhere from 2 to 4 panes of glass.
​
-
Low E Coatings
These coatings are applied to the glass to prevent and allow certain light wavelengths to pass through the glass. This controls the U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient of the window. Coating can be customized and combined to form any desired U-factor or SHGC>

Gas Filled Window Panes
Argon, Krypton or Xenon gasses are used between each pane instead of regular air. This adds to the thermal efficiency of the window. Argon is the most common gas used in gas filled windows.
