Energy saving tips for windows

Use blinds or curtains with a white exterior side*

During the summer, you can reduce solar heat gain up to 50%. Sunlight can increase the demand on your air conditioner by as much as 30%.


Install awnings over windows

Awnings can reduce the amount of heat transferred through your windows.


Look for windows with the ENERGY STAR® label when you're renovating

ENERGY STAR windows can reduce heat gain or loss by as much as 70%.


Apply reflective film or solar screens to existing windows

Tinted or reflective film can reduce the amount of electricity used to cool your space during the summer.


Consider replacing single-pane, clear windows with double-pane windows

Single-pane, clear windows are poor insulators, allowing heat from the sun to transfer into your facility. This forces your air conditioning system to work harder to compensate for the heat.
