Benefits of Energy Efficiency

An energy-efficient home helps you reduce your carbon footprint without sacrificing an amenity. In warm months, energy-efficient products keep out unwanted warm air. Then in cold months, they help to insulate your home like a blanket, trapping the heat inside and protecting your interior from cold drafts. Energy-efficient products are great for you wallet, your comfort and the environment.

Reasons to Go Green

  • Homeowners, businesses and large industries save a significant amount of money using energy-efficient products every year.
  • Heating and cooling systems, appliances and lighting products that use less energy release fewer greenhouse gases into the environment.
  • Energy-efficient products like windows and doors help to improve the comfort of homes and commercial buildings during extreme weather conditions.
  • Window World of Augusta offers energy-efficient products that deliver quality, comfortability and affordability so it’s easy to go green.

Climate Requirements

Interested in Becoming ENERGY STAR® Certified?

ENERGY STAR is a government-sanctioned symbol for energy efficiency, credibility, sustainability and cost-savings for the consumer. Window World offers many ENERGY STAR® qualified glass packages. Explore the requirements to become ENERGY STAR-certified below and see what it looks like in your region of the country.

U-Value
R-Value
Your Climate

U-Factor Requirements

U-Factor measures the rate at which heat flows through an object. The lower your U-value, the less heat your windows allow through them.

  • Northern: ≤ .27
  • North-Central: ≤ .30
  • South-Central: ≤ .30
  • Southern: ≤ .40

R-Value Requirements

R-Value determines how well the insulation inside your window performs. The higher your R-value, the better insulated your window is.

  • Northern: 13 – 21
  • North-Central: 13 – 21
  • South-Central: 13 – 21
  • Southern: 13 – 21

Why You Need A High-Performing Insulated Product

Window World of Augusta is located in ENERGY STAR’s Northern Climate category. To maintain certification here, our windows and doors must maintain a U-Value of ≤ .27 and an R-Factor from 13 to 21.


Glossary Of Terms

Energy Efficiency Terms You Need To Know

Low-E Glass

Low-E glass is a type of glass that has been treated with a microscopic, metallic coating designed to filter certain types of light into your home. The glass blocks heat gain from the sun’s reflected rays in warmer months and allows warmth from the sun’s shorter rays to flow into your home during cooler seasons.

Warm-Edge Spacer System

Our Intercept™ warm-edge spacer system is a new-age technology used to extend the shelf-life of window glass by reducing condensation build-up and edge-to-glass temperatures. Designed to seal in escaping heat, this spacer system is the most effective of its kind.

Argon Gas

Argon is a colorless, odorless and nonreactive insulating property with extremely high density and extremely low thermal conductivity, making it an ideal agent for year-round comfort.
