What Makes an Energy-Efficient Window
There are several pieces to an energy-efficient window, including the glass itself, the frame the glass is in, and even some cool chemistry in the form of inert gases. The glass itself makes a big difference, especially when you use multiple panes of glass in a single window. By having two or sometimes three panes of glass, you help to prevent the transfer of your warmed or cooled indoor air to the outdoors. The glass can also be coated to further enhance the energy efficiency of the glass panes.
The frame that the glass is in also can make a difference in the energy efficiency of the window. As you might guess, aluminum frame windows transfer heat too well, so instead energy efficient windows use other materials such as vinyl or fiberglass or even wood. These materials dramatically improve the energy efficiency of the windows.
Finally, in between the panes of glass, where you might expect just oxygen to be, there will often be either argon or krypton gas. These gases are used because they do not transfer heat as well as oxygen does, therefore they help to again improve the energy efficiency of the windows. Argon is more common, though krypton is more dense but a bit more expensive.
