DOE Seeks to Increase Adoption of Energy-Saving Triple-Pane (R-5) Windows
Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy
From July 13: Windows are essential elements of most buildings, but can be among the most energy-wasting parts of a home. Although they constitute only 10% of the surface area of a typical home, they can account for 30-40% of the heat loss in winter. To address this issue, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is working to increase adoption of next-generation triple-pane windows, which will help homeowners conserve energy, reduce noise, and lower home energy bills.
Though still in draft form, ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 proposes higher performance requirements for residential windows, which could be achieved with a triple-pane window design.
