    How-to-Choose-Energy-Efficient-Windows

    Replacing windows is a great way to reduce HVAC usage and save money on utility bills. Modern units come with advanced materials that reduce energy consumption and help maintain a cozy indoor environment. Here are some simple steps to ensure you choose energy-saving units for your home:

    How-to-Choose-Energy-Efficient-Windows

    Make Sure Windows Meet the Code

    The International Energy Conservation Code® (IECC) was introduced in 1998 to address energy efficiency in different properties. It also addresses cost savings, conservation of natural resources, and impact of energy savings on the environment.

    The state of Georgia follows the 2012 IECC Code to ensure energy savings for homeowners. The required energy ratings vary by climate zones. You can consult your local government to check which ratings you need for your home.

    Look for the ENERGY STAR® Label

    ENERGY STAR is a program that identifies energy-efficient products for both homes and commercial properties. This includes windows installation in Atlanta. Certified products like windows from Renewal by Andersen have passed certification tests to ensure energy conservation and a healthier environment.

    Check the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) Ratings

    Your windows perform differently in terms of solar heat gain, heating, cooling, and visible light transfer. The NFRC has set ratings to determine whole window energy performance:

    • U-value – This measures how much heat escapes through your windows. The lower the value, the more efficient your window is.
    • Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) – This indicates how much heat your windows block. Lower values indicate better SHGC.
    • Visible transmittance – This displays how much light passes through your casement windows in Atlanta or other window designs. Higher values indicate better daylighting potential.

    These steps can help you on your way to building a greener and healthier home. To make decision-making easier, let Renewal by Andersen of Atlanta help you. We use advanced materials that have high insulating values. We also install your windows properly to make sure there are no air leaks around the frame. We back our products and installation with strong warranties that cover repair or replacement for a period since installation date.
