Of all the components of a building enclosure, windows can have the greatest impact on energy consumption. This can be disproportionate to the area of the enclosure the windows cover. Therefore, it is important architects and specifiers are aware of the significant impact of windows on the overall building enclosure’s thermal performance when designing, evaluating, and selecting enclosure assemblies for new buildings and retrofit projects. The examples in this article focus on residential buildings, but the discussion generally applies to most facility types.

Understanding the thermal performance of windows
There are two properties that describe the energy performance of windows: U-value (i.e.U-factor) and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC).

Thermal importance of windows

Thermal performance of windows and other building enclosure components is typically measured in terms of either U-value or R-value. The former is a measure of the overall rate of heat transfer through the entire fenestration product (or other enclosure assembly) under standardized winter conditions. While the rate of heat transfer varies through the frame, the glass edge, and the centre of glass, the READ MORE

Energy Efficient Windows Save Money. Magnetite Canada is working with Canadians to ensure your windows will perform for you and the environment.  Due to the thermal conductivity of glass, it’s proven that it is the greatest source of energy loss in any building, with more than 50% going right through your windows.  Our storm window double glazing is a sustainable investment with no fixed term that offers a range of energy and environmental benefits.  In many instances our customers recoup their initial investment within the first six years of purchasing our product just on energy saving alone.

Energy Efficient Windows

Here are some of reasons to invest in Magnetite storm windows energy efficient solution:

• Energy Conservation and Cost Savings– less energy use and the reduced need for artificial heating and cooling can save you money on energy bills.  Complete replacement provides an extra environmental advantage of avoiding landfill due to the reuse of existing window materials instead of replacement materials
• Carbon Footprint– interior heating and cooling are a direct cause of carbon emissions, which can be avoided by insulating windows, creating a greener building or home
• Compliance – The Canadian government has mandated their goals toward energy efficiencies. Institutions such as CMHC (Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp) have already acknowledged the value of magnetic storm window products further endorsing our product. http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/inpr/bude/himu/waensati/waensati_004.cfm

Window insulation R value. When we talk about insulation to our homes and office spaces we use terms like R value to determine the amount of insulation a surface area has. R value is a measure of thermal resistance for material and assemblies of materials (such as insulation panels, floors, and walls) in the building and construction industry. It gives an indication of how quickly they will lose heat (their thermal resistance). The higher the value of R, the better the thermal performance and heat retention of the material or assembly, and the slower any heat loss. The R-value for a given material or assembly depends on its resistance to heat conduction, as well as the thickness and (for loose or porous material) any heat losses due to convection and radiative heat transfer. Under the current Canadian building code, your home, if built new would have to achieve an R value in its outside walls of R 20 and ceiling of R 35. What about your windows?

How to Increase Window R-Value and Save Energy

Most people don’t realize that the R value of your windows on a new double panes sealed unit barely reaches R 2.5. This explains why an engineer who specifies the heating and cooling system for a building accounts for about 50% of the energy loss though it’s windows. Windows which are made primarily of glass are excellent conductors and very poor insulators. How do we solve this problem?
One way is to insulate your window with an acrylic magnetic storm window. Magnetites window will in some case triple the thermal value of the window and save energy.
