How Do My Old Windows Lose Heat In The Winter
And Cool Air In The Summer?
Your existing windows are probably the biggest source of ener
gy loss in your home, and that means replacing them is a great
opportunity to save on your fuel and mainte
nance bills.
There are two major causes of energy
loss through old windows-infiltration and
conduction. Infiltration occurs when cold air
slips around the frame and through the small
opening between frame and sash, forcing
warm air from inside your home to outside.
Conduction is the transfer of heat from your
home through the glass and frame to the
cold outside air.
During summer, cool air is lost through the
same infiltration and conduction processes
in reverse. Also, your home accumulates
additional heat due to radiation, or heat
build-up caused by the sun's rays.
Infiltration, conduction and radiation can be minimized by in
stalling snug-fitting, insulating vinyl windows.
