Daylight and view are two fundamental attributes of a window. Unfortunately, windows are also the source of significant solar heat gain during times when it is unwanted. Traditional solutions to reducing solar heat gain, such as tinted glazing or shades, mean that the amount of light is reduced as well.
-
High-performance windows create warmer interior glass surfaces, reducing frost and condensation. Energy efficient windows with warm edge technology and insulating frames have such a warm interior surface that condensation on any interior surfaces is significantly reduced under all conditions.
-
By reducing the need for air conditioning, energy-efficient windows that control solar heat gain also reduce the risk of possible health effects from air conditioning –for instance, the overuse of air conditioning can cause headaches or aggravate the effects of arthritis and neuritis
-
Energy-efficient windows improve comfort within homes by providing a warmer interior surface during the cold winter months, preventing the living space near windows from getting uncomfortably cold. If inefficient window performance cools down the air near windows, the cold air floats to the ground.

Many organic materials, such as carpet, fabrics, paper, artwork, paints, and wood may fade upon exposure to sunlight. Window selection can influence the type and intensity of transmitted radiation. The most harmful radiation in sunlight is the ultraviolet (UV) rays, which are the most energetic and thus most likely to
