Windows were once made with a single pane of glass or, if you were lucky,
you got storm windows to cover your prime windows. Then regular insulating
glass was developed, which was followed more recently by advancements in
glass coatings and window technology. Today, the availability of better
glass systems and engineered window designs provides numerous possibilities
for creating windows that meet specific needs.

If you live in an urban area where crime and noise are concerns, you can
design your windows to deter intrusion. If your energy bills are going
through the roof, you can select windows that keep heat in during the
winter—and reflect outside heat away from your windows in the summer.
Heating Season Savings
During Ohio's winter months, windows have represented a major source of
unwanted heat loss, discomfort, and condensation problems. In recent years,
windows have undergone a technological revolution. It is now possible to
have lower heat loss, less air leakage, and warmer window surfaces that
improve comfort and minimize condensation. Significant savings (up to 35%
annually) can be found in heating season costs associated with energy
efficient windows for a house in a heating-dominated climate. In cold
regions, this means that windows are no longer an energy loser to be
avoided -- increasing glazing area with high performance windows can have
little or no affect on total energy use.
Cooling Season Savings
During the warmer summer months, windows have represented a major source of
unwanted heat gain. It is now possible to significantly reduce solar heat
gain and improve comfort while providing clear views and daylight. Savings
of up to 32% have been realized in cooling season costs associated with
improved windows for a house in a cooling-dominated climate. This means that
high performance windows can face into the sun if desired without great
energy penalties -- although shading techniques remain important.
