What makes ENERGY STAR windows the most energy efficient windows on the market today?
Every ENERGY STAR window has been subjected to extensive testing to ensure it meets or exceeds certain criteria for use in the various climate zones around the country including the South / Central climate zone which includes Dallas, Fort Worth and the entire DFW area.
These criteria include U-Factor and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). U-Factor testing ensures that every ENERGY STAR window provides sufficient heat flow (naturally occurring air transfer) resistance which offers a greater overall insulation value.
In order to meet the ENERGY STAR standards for an energy efficient window, each has also received a satisfactory rating for reducing solar radiation being transmitted through the window glass. The lower the SHGC, the better the window performs in this test.
Additionally, every ENERGY STAR energy efficient window Clarity Windows sells in the Dallas, Fort Worth and the greater DFW area has met requirements for:
- Visible transmittance (the amount of visible light passed through the window glass)
- Air Leakage (the amount of air, measured in cubic feet, that passes through a predetermined window surface area per minute)
- Condensation resistance (a measurement of how well the window resists water build up between the multiple panes)
The Dallas, Fort Worth area is notorious for extreme temperatures, intense sunlight and high humidity. These conditions make ENERGY STAR energy efficient windows especially valuable to homeowners in the DFW area.
In addition to reducing your energy costs by up to 30%, ENERGY STAR windows from Clarity Windows provide consistent comfort throughout your home year round.
In winter months, inefficient single pane windows, and even uncertified multi-pane windows, actually draw warm air from your home’s interior toward the colder outdoor air creating “cold spots” in areas near the windows.
In warmer weather that same naturally occurring transfer pulls hot air from outdoors into your homes interior. The result is inconsistent temperature level throughout your home and a greater load on your homes HVAC system. With prolonged periods of triple digit temperatures common in the Dallas, Fort Worth area, heat transfer can be an expensive problem.
Energy efficient windows with the ENERGY STAR certification also reduce the chance of damage to your window casings and sills that can result from condensation build up and run off.
Direct sunlight can damage your carpeting, draperies, furnishings and other valuable possessions, causing them to fade and discolor with repeated or prolonged exposure. ENERGY STAR windows reduce the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays without significantly reducing the visible light they allow in.
