The heat seals through the window can be as large as a third of the house's total heating. If you compare this with the fact that windows in recent years have become up to 70% more energy-efficient than old double-glazed windows , you see that there can be large energy gains. The streamlining is due to new technologies. Today, almost all window manufacturers offer energy-efficient triple glazed windows and energy-saving glass. On energy-efficient windows, two or three glasses have been sealed with air or noble gas between the panes. The gas conducts heat worse than air and therefore provides better insulation. Additional energy can be saved with energy-saving glass that has a metal coating on one side of the window that reflects heat. This means that less heat penetrates through the window. You can ...
