High Performance R-5 Window Program<\/strong><\/p>\n The United States Department of Energy (US DOE) has successfully launched its \u201cR5\u2033 Program for High Performance Windows.<\/p>\n Window Depot USA locations* across the country can now bring you these great products!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a summary of the program:<\/p>\n – R-5 windows are highly insulating windows with a whole-window R-value of 5 (a U-factor of around 0.2) and are the top tier of energy-efficient windows for cold and mixed climates available today<\/p>\n – Common ENERGY STAR windows only have an R-value of 3. Increasing the R-value from 3 to 5 reduces average heat loss through the windows by 40% and saves consumer money on energy bills.<\/p>\n – The principal barrier to widespread market commercialization of R-5 windows is cost. The Department of Energy is working with industry and potential buyers to lower cost and make these energy-efficient products more readily available.<\/p>\n For more information, you can visit the DOE websites at these two addresses:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.windowsvolumepurchase.org<\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/www1.eere.energy.gov\/buildings\/windowsvolumepurchase<\/a><\/p>\n
