BUILDING ENVELOPE HEATING, VENTILATION & SERVICES FOCUS


Triple glazing comes in well above Building Regulations standards for energy efficiency, providing that units have been installed correctly


a return ight from aris to ew York or driving 000 km in a diesel car. With green, energy-efficient homes becoming increasingly desirable, this could have a significant impact on homebuyers’


purchase decisions, and subsequently, the housing market. To add to that, a low score on an


nergy erformance Certificate could make it more difficult to sell properties. A overnment report on property sales found that making energy saving improvements could increase the value of homes by as much as . The benefits of double glaing go far beyond energy and cost efficiency. remium windows reduce condensation buildup on the inside of the windows through spacer bars between the panes and ow- glass which reects heat back into the room. In asimilar way, energy efficient windows help insulate homes against external noise, so homeowners can enjoy peace and quiet. These factors combined are predicted to cause a spike in the demand for energy efficient products, particularly in the self-build and renovation sectors  and could even be a more effective way to achieve greater energy efficient homes rather than building new properties. Triple glaing may be a more desirable option for those looking for energy efficiency, as well as improved security. Triple glaing comes in well above Building Regulations standards for energy efficiency, providing they have been installed correctly. In


the space between the panes is an inert gas that increases the window’s thermal performance. This gas has low conductivity  and is therefore more insulating, which further helps to reduce energy bills. nergy efficient windows are undoubtedly a beneficial way to help construction workers, renovators and self-builders alike create the energy efficient homes that homebuyers want. or a seamless buying experience, there are companies in the market that have a team of highly skilled experts who are on hand to support every step of the process to ensure everything is precision-made, so you can be certain of a finished product that provides warmth, security, and savings without compromising the environment. Anglian has calculated the estimated savings using the energy calculator developed by the lass  laing ederation . A typical house upgrading from pre-2002 double glaed VCu windows with gas heating to Anglian A-rated windows will make an annual saving of 1.2 and 0. tonnes of CO2
