Window Energy Efficiency Tips
- Double glazing: Reduces heat loss by ~50%
- Triple glazing: Reduces heat loss by ~70%
- Low-E coating: Reflects heat while allowing light
- Gas fill: Argon or krypton between panes improves insulation
- Window treatments: Cellular shades add insulation value
Note: Heat loss calculation assumes single-pane glass with 40°F temperature difference. Actual values vary based on glazing type, frame material, and weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure a window for area?
Measure the width and height of the glass area (not the frame). Multiply width × height for area. For multiple windows, add all areas together.
How much does window glass cost?
Standard glass costs $10-20/sq ft. Tempered glass: $25-40/sq ft. Double-pane: $50-100/sq ft installed. Prices vary by region and glass type.
How do windows affect energy bills?
Windows can account for 25-30% of heating/cooling costs. Single-pane windows lose heat 4x faster than walls. Upgrading to double-pane can save 12-33% on energy bills.
What is the standard window size?
Common sizes: Double-hung 36×48 in, Picture windows 48×72 in, Sliding 60×48 in. Custom sizes are available but cost more.
How do I calculate heat loss through windows?
Heat loss = Area × U-value × Temperature Difference. Single-pane U-value ≈ 1.0, double-pane ≈ 0.5. Larger temperature differences mean more heat loss.
