WINDOWS & DOORS GENERAL INFO Windows take up a proportionately small area of the thermal envelope, yet they are one of the most used parts of a home—for light, ventilation, passive heat, and aesthetics. Windows can represent significant heat loss in Alaska because of their low insulative value relative to other components of the building. Thus having an energy efficient, durable window (located in the right place) makes a big difference in your overall home energy performance.      CCHRC ABOUT US Efficient windows Windows Energy efficient windows for interior alaska    Energy efficient windows for interior alaska - window types & u values Energy Efficiency Window Insulation Climate Doors • Door options • Evaluating window insulation • How can windows cut energy costs? • Is it worth paying for more expensive windows? • Role of windows in passive solar design • NFRC: window energy performance ratings • What are the best windows for extreme climates • Extreme temps require high quality windows Copyright © 2012 Cold Climate Housing Research Center, Inc.     |    1000 Fairbanks Street    |    Fairbanks, AK 99708      |      907-457-3454      |      Contact Us      |      Sitemap      |      Disclaimer
