What makes the ClimaTech insulated glass package so effective?

Since 80% of a window is glass, substantial heating and cooling savings come from improved glass performance.

• Our combination of UV-filtering Low-E glass, argon gas t and the Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System dramatically enhances energy efficiency. Together they can cut the damaging effects of the sun, which can lead to the fading of carpets, curtains and furniture, by an additional 72% over clear insulated glass units.
• In winter, a warmer glass temperature is maintained, increasing the R-Value by an additional 104%.
• In summer, a 49% reduction in solar heat gain helps cut air-conditioning costs.

 

 

 

 

Performance Options ClimaTech ... your solution for increased window performance. For maximum energy savings, upgrade your Bay, Bow and Garden Windows with a ClimaTech insulating glass package, featuring Low-E glass, argon gas and the PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System. The superior thermal performance of this insulating glass unit can help lower your energy costs while further reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. Many ClimaTech insulating glass packages meet the latest ENERGY STAR® requirements. Consult your window professional for the optimal glass package required for your home and climate zone. Bay, Bow and Garden Windows with ClimaTech may actually exceed the performance requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Energy in conjunction with the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) test criteria. One of the most critical NFRC rests measures the rate of heat loss through a window or door (U-Factor). The lower the U-Factor, the better the product is at resisting heat flow, which results in a product with a greater insulating value. Another critical NFRC test is for Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). This procedure measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight. Again, the lower the number, the less solar heat the window transmits into the home.                                     Optional copper or painted aluminum roofs lend exterior architectural detail to Bay or Bow Windows       Energy Tax Credit Qualified! Take advantage of temporary tax credit incentives. Now through the end of 2010, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allows homeowners up to a maximum of $1,500 in federal tax credits** for purchasing products that meet the new energy efficiency guidelines.

It lets warm solar rays into your home, while blocking the heat inside of your home from getting out.  Low-E glass filters long-wave radiation from the sun. This reduces solar heat gain from the summer sun, helping to keep your home cooler.
