| Considering replacing your windows as a way to improve your home's energy efficiency? A new study conducted by the Preservation Green Lab of the National Trust for Historic Preservation has examined a number of window improvement options, comparing the relative energy, carbon and cost savings, in different climate zones across the country. The results show that a number of the existing retrofit options come very close to the energy performance of high-performance replacement windows, at a fraction of the cost. |
