THV Compozit Windows
THV Compozit Windows
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) windows in the U.S. account for 30% of building heating and cooling energy loss. The EPA’s Energy Star Buildings Manual says, “windows almost always represent the largest source of unwanted heat loss and heat gain in buildings.” This means you could be wasting almost one-third of the money you spend to heat and cool your home every month!
Older windows that are poorly designed, constructed and installed allow energy to pass through easily, reducing efficiency and increasing your monthly bills. The best way to make your home more beautiful, comfortable and energy efficient is to replace your old, drafty windows and doors with high performance, thermally efficient replacement windows and doors from Earth Sense Energy Systems.

Measuring energy savings in your Wisconsin replacement windows
Earth Sense Energy Systems is pleased to be able to offer you replacement windows that are among the most efficient on the market, with superior thermal performance that is built into the frames, glass and entire Wisconsin windows package. We can even measure the difference. Industry standards have been established for rating the energy performance of replacement windows. Every window we make comes with a label from the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) showing how our windows perform, based on the following laboratory tests:
U-Value
The most important measure of a window’s performance is its U-value. The U-value indicates the rate of heat flow through a window. The lower the U-value, the more energy efficient the window will be. U-value measures the entire window unit — glass, frame, sash, spacers — and is the only measurement accepted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s EnergyStar program.
R-Value
R-value is the measure of the resistance of glass to the flow of heat. The higher the R-value, the better the glass will be at insulating your home. But R-value is NOT an accepted form of measurement by the National Fenestration Research Council (NFRC) or EnergyStar, as it does not measure the overall window unit.
What is the NFRC?
The National Fenestration Research Council (NFRC) is an independent, non-profit organization that administers the only nationally accepted rating system for energy performance of windows, doors and skylights. The NFRC provides fair, accurate and reliable energy performance ratings so that architects, engineers, builders, code officials, contractors and homeowners can compare different products and make informed choices. Look for the NFRC label on any window you purchase.
