Efficient windows can have demonstrable impacts on utility load shapes. Spectrally selective glazings can reduce summertime air conditioning energy and peak demands. Low-E glazings, insulating frames, warm edge technologies, and gas fills can reduce peak wintertime heating energy demands as well as peak summer cooling loads.

Whatever your utility's interest in residential energy-efficiency, the Efficient Window Collaborative is interested in partnering with you to develop the next generation of programs that involve energy-efficient windows for the residential sector.

The Efficient Windows Collaborative can offer both technical and logistical support to your planning efforts -- emphasizing information on the energy and peak demand performance of windows -- as well as liaison with on-going national activities, such as the NFRC rating and labeling procedures, or the ENERGY STAR® Window and ENERGY STAR® Builder programs.

The Efficient Windows Collaborative has already developed a variety of off-the-shelf technical information products to help with the Window Selection process and is in a position to develop customized products as well.
