Leverage the Power of Triple Pane Windows
Aug 23, 2023Improve your project’s efficiency and reduce costs.
When people think of triple pane windows, niche project requirements, and special project certifications often come to mind. Now, with the increasing need and demand for triple pane across Europe and the United States, manufacturers are stepping up to the plate and providing triple pane at a price point that doesn’t bust budgets! Better price points allow building professionals an opportunity to apply triple pane windows as a strong and unique facet on projects. Below are just a few points that describe how you can use triple pane on your projects, and creative applications for the advantages these windows provide. Improve your project’s efficiency and reduce costs
Triple pane window thermal efficiency
Now, more than ever, we need reliable paths to meet new and stringent code compliance; with U-values for triple pane windows reaching as low as .14, we finally have a solution that we can use consistently and accurately. Comparative to double pane, triple pane can offer upwards of a 30% efficiency increase, but often fall within a smaller margin for cost increase.
When applied, triple pane windows have allowed projects to remove outboard insulation, reduce the amount of through-wall insulation, and even remove the need to install expensive solar panels, saving thousands on the development budget.
Triple pane window solar heat gain efficiency
Additional panes of glass allow for additional gas, as well as low e coatings within the windows glazing unit. With both improved, the overall solar heat gain can improve significantly—potentially decreasing the overall requirements for air conditioning within a building.
Triple pane window - Improved tenant happiness & retention
After closeout, triple pane windows continue to add additional efficiency in the realm of tenant happiness. With less need to heat and cool, units will stay a more consistent temperature, providing residents with affordable heating/electric utility bills. While comfort isn’t necessarily quantitative, tenant turnover is.
