The St. James Collection
The Energy Efficient Choice
 
The Problem:
According to a recent HUD study 70% of the heat you are paying for, and 46% of your air conditioning is going right outside through your windows and doors, that is only if they are really in good condition.
Are hidden leaks robbing you blind?
Your original windows were probably not designed and built with energy savings in mind. They may be wasting energy three ways:
Infiltration
Conduction
Radiation
Infiltration
1/16 of an inch gap in a standard size window will allow as much air to enter your home as a missing brick in your wall.
Conduction
Conduction wastes three times as much energy as infiltration.
Radiation
  • Radiation is the movement of energy through space.
  • Air you heat during the winter is radiated to the glass, then outside.
  • In the summer, the sun radiates into your house.

25% of total heat loss is caused by radiation through window panes.

Radiation causes your furnaces and air conditioners to work overtime!!

Heat moves to
the coldest area.
You lose 1/2 of
each dollar you spend.

The Solution:

The St. James Collection - Energy Efficiency in all Conditions
Featuring Low-E Glass

Low-E in Summer
  • Stops heat like a 10-foot brick wall.
  • Acts as a shield, blocking 58% of the heat that can be conducted through a single piece of normal glass.
  • Reduces fading and deterioration of fabrics and painted surfaces
  • Blocks 63% of harmful ultraviolet rays.
     
Low-E in Winter

An insulated glass unit with one panel of “Low-E” glass will reduce heat loss by 66% compared to single glazing.

20% more effective than traditional dual glazing.

More effective than even triple glazing.
