What Type of Window Is Most Energy Efficient?
Energy efficiency is one of the primary benefits that homeowners expect to receive after replacing their home windows. Indeed, upgrading your windows can better insulate your home, helping your HVAC system run more efficiently and possibly lowering your monthly energy bills. But is there a type of window that is more energy efficient than others?
Energy-Efficient Casement Windows
The answer is yes. While most modern windows are crafted with state-of-the-art insulating features, the unique build of a casement window makes it naturally more energy efficient. Casement windows operate much like a door, i.e. they swing outward when opened. When closed, the sash presses so tightly against the frame that an ironclad seal is formed, effectively cutting off all airflow. By preventing air from leaking out or in, casement windows eliminate heat transfer, which could otherwise cause your HVAC to run amok and drive up your energy bills.
