What is Energy Star?
ENERGY STAR is not just about making buildings more energy efficient; it’s also about saving money for homes and industries and offering best-practice solutions to make homes more comfortable, create better buildings and protect the environment. It’s a government-backed program—Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – that helps businesses and individuals do just that.
Low E Insulated Glass for Windows
Glasses are the most preferred materials for windows. Many even go for French windows, which are made of full-length glass. Since glass facilitates good light from the outside, it is the favorite of many. However, at times, the light which comes in through the glass windows can become overwhelming, to the extent that you need heavy curtains to keep your space cooler. Especially during summers when the heat is too much, huge glasses add on to the discomfort. That’s the reason people employ insulated glasses to check the amount of heat that is being absorbed and the light that is coming in.
