EERE Support Yields Breakthrough in Manufacturing of Triple Pane, R-5 Energy Efficient Windows
Support from the DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE) has been instrumental in GED Integrated Solutions achieving a breakthrough in the manufacturing of energy-efficient residential windows. A worldwide supplier of insulating glass and vinyl window and door manufacturing systems, GED’s Automated Tri-Lite Assembly System (ATLAS) produces a triple pane insulating glass window unit in 20 seconds.
Is it Time for Energy Efficient Windows? Yes. Just Add Up Those Positives.
There are plenty of ways manufacturers can meet the standard of being “energy efficient”. A lot of it is pretty technical for average people. From the homeowner’s point of view, when you are purchasing energy efficient, you are looking to purchase windows that represent a measurable improvement in keeping cold out on cold days and heat out on hot days. Obviously, the idea is keeping things cool when you want it cool and warm when you want it warm. Windows play a huge part in what comfort result you are experiencing inside your house by greatly influencing the costs to keep it the way you want it.
