Window replacement
Window of opportunity
The most efficient pumps, HVAC, and lighting solutions can still be hindered by inefficient windows—which can account for 25-50% of a commercial building’s heating and cooling load. Window replacements are an effective cost-saving solution whether as a stand alone upgrade or part of a bigger energy retrofit.
Benefits
-
Improves occupant comfort and tenant satisfaction
Compared to single or even older double-paned windows, thin triple-paned windows reduce drafts and heat transfer, resulting in more even temperatures and comfortable spaces.
-
Noise reduction
Upgraded windows can significantly reduce disruptive exterior noise, which makes window replacement an opportune upgrade for properties located near highways, airports, high-traffic areas, or busy roads.
-
Lower costs, higher building value
Window replacement offers property managers the value of reduced maintenance costs, improved property value, increased tenant retention, and enhanced aesthetic appeal of the building’s exterior.
-
Opportunity to downsize HVAC
Improving your building’s envelope decreases its heat gain/loss, resulting in lower demand on your HVAC system. This can reduce the costs of your existing heating/cooling and also present an opportunity to downsize your system when it’s time to replace it.
High-performance windows at a fraction of the cost
Learn how secondary windows, which attach to improve your existing window, are a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to a full replacement.
