Modern replacement windows in Naperville provide more than the basic benefits like daylighting and ventilation. Energy efficiency has also become an important requirement for homeowners. With windows accounting for as much as 30% of a home’s energy efficiency, choosing the wrong kind could lead to higher energy costs.
Energy Efficiency
Every structure, whether it’s a large commercial building or a single-family residence, has a thermal envelope. This is a controlled, enclosed space insulates your interior from the uncontrolled exterior environment. It is composed of roofing, windows, walls, and doors.
Under ideal conditions, a thermal envelope should be able to prevent heat loss and keep a stable internal temperature. This means a consistently warm interior during cold days. Exterior heat should also be able to prevent exterior ambient and solar heat from getting into your home. This way, the inside of your home keeps consistently cool during hot days. With a consistent indoor temperature, you can reduce the need for heating and air conditioning, which, in turn, reduces energy costs.
