Builders, contractors, architects, schools and universities, lodging, public and senior housing, 2nd weatherization and public agencies in search of more energy efficient windows at cost-effective prices now have additional options available to them as the Department of Energy’sHigh Performance Windows Volume Purchase Program expands.
Program managers will announce new products and vendors, and launch the next phase of the program on Tuesday, May 3, at the National Association of Home Builders Green Building Conference & Expo in Salt Lake City. High performance windows, such as triple pane windows, can reduce a building’s heat loss through windows, improving occupant comfort and overall energy efficiency.
Triple Pane Window
Highly insulating windows, like this triple pane window, can help reduce heat loss in residential and commercial buildings by as much as 20 percent in heating-dominated climate zones, like Salt Lake City. The Department of Energy’s High Performance Windows Volume Purchase Program recently expanded, to include more highly insulating windows and an upgraded website, to encourage consumers to purchase these windows.
The expanded program will offer windows for commercial and residential buildings, and an expanded website that will make finding window products, prices and vendors easier. The volume purchase program was launched in May 2010 to bring new and emerging technologies to the market at competitive prices. Although highly insulating windows have been available for several years they have existed primarily as niche products that have been too expensive for widespread market adoption.
