With
carbon emissions high on the global agenda and the current
high cost of fuel, we are all looking for ways to make
our homes more energy efficient.
The BFRC Scheme is the UK's national system for rating
the energy efficiency of windows and is recognised within
the Building Regulations as a method to show compliance
for your replacement windows installation
Window Energy Ratings use a consumer-friendly traffic-light
style A-E ratings guide similar to that used on 'white'
goods (such as fridges, freezers, washing machines etc...).
This ratings label can be used by you to make more informed
choices about the energy efficiency of the windows you
are looking to purchase. |
| This label will display the following
information: |
| 1. |
The rating level - A, B, C, etc...
|
| 2. |
The energy rating
eg. -3kWh/(m²·K)
in this example the product will lose 3 kilowatt hours
per square metre per year.
|
| 3. |
The window U value
eg. 1.4W/(m²·K)
|
| 4. |
The effective heat
loss due to air penetration as L
eg. 0.01 W/(m²·K)
|
| 5. |
The solar heat gain eg. g=0.43 |
Simply put this will determine how well a product
will perform the functions of:
• Helping you contain and conserve heat within your building in the winter
• Keep out the wind
• Resist condensation
• Contribute to improved sound insulation
So What are Energy Efficient Windows
So exactly what are Energy Efficient Windows?
They are windows that help to contain and conserve heat
within the home keeping out wind and rain, resisting condensation
and yet allowing natural "free" energy - the warmth of
the sun - to heat the home.
