ENERGY EFFICIENCY
The Learning Center
When you compare energy efficient windows, the first thing to consider is the window's U-value. U-values (Btu/hr-ft2-oF) are a measure of
thermal conductivity. When some window manufacturers tell you the R-values of their windows, they usually give the center-of-glass value,
which is considerably higher than the whole window rating. Whole window ratings, introduced in 1989 by the National Fenestration Ratings
Council (NFRC), reflect the insulating value of the glass, the sash (where applicable), and the frame.
