Estate Show Place Dec 1978 R and values Meaningless with windows Rand If values are an indication of a materials ability to retard or conduct he flow of heat so theyre valuable in helping the buyer know how effective the material will be In conserving energy But when it comes to win dews they dont mean any thing because theyre seldom based on common criteria Some windows are rated for conductive values a measure of how fast or slow heat travels directly through the glass and frame mater ials used in the window Others show the conductive value for the glass only In addition to conductive values windows unlike a singlecomponent product such as mineral wool ceiling insulation have an lion value This is a mca sure of heat flow through the cracks between the several component porta For some windows this Is given For others it is not Yet other windows ore rated with a composite value which is the total of the combined conductive and Infiltration values Yet another factor about windows which t a factor In materials like bait insula tlon is the size of the window tested for the or it values If the window has double insulating glass the value of the glass alone Is as low as But the frame may have a value as high as 1 These two factors must be considered In combination to determine the conductive value of the window If the window tested is small the frame represents a larger percent of the total window area than it docs in a very large window So even if two windows give values representing both infiltration and conduction you can compare their energy effi unless you know whether both windows tested were the same size One way to use or values to compare different windows is to have complete independent test laboratory reports for both windows You must check to sec that all criteria including conditions of the test itself static or dynamic air pressure etc are Identical Unless you are an architect involved in a project lug windows its unlikely that you can get test reports which arc comparable So what do you do If you want to make your windows energy efficient you are going to have to know the different ways windows waste energy so you can Identify what product you need If you have relatively good airtight windows you prob ably need storm windows It your prime window is deteriorated but you have good storm windows you need a new prime window If you have wornout win dows and no storms you need a thermalized replacement window Once you can identify your window energy problem and know the remedy you have to be knowledgeable about the different degrees of quality in the different competitive pro ducts available for your need The Window Book written by Fred M Schmidt and published by Seasonall Industries after five years of window energy research identifies he ways windows waste energy spells out the right solution to each pro blem and defines he characteristics of good storm windows replacement win and thermalized re placement windows According to Mr Schmidt There Is an absence of good easy understand informa tion about windows and energy And home and build owners are confused The Window Book is an attempt to give the consumer the basic information needed to invest in window energy conservation wisely He concludes There should be some hope that the buyer will in fact achieve the energy conservation he or she
