Energy-efficient windows

Consumers buy homes with windows for the aesthetics, daylighting, and improved view of windows, yet they don t want to sacrifice comfort, that condition of mind that expresses satisfaction with the environment. Energy efficient windows transfer less... 

To achieve maximum energy performance, an energy-efficient window s characteristics must compensate for local climate conditions. In residential...

Indium-tin oxide (ITO, or tin-doped indium oxide) is a solid miture of indium(III) oxide (Iu203) and tin(IV) oxide (Sn02). It is transparent and colorless in thin layers. In bulk form, it is yellowish to grey. It is a transparent conducting material that is usually used in thin coating form. ITO is commonly used in applications such as touch panels, electrochromic, electroluminescent and LCD displays, plasma displays, field emission displays, heat reflective coatings, energy efficient windows, gas sensors and photovoltaics. 

Argon - A colorless, odorless inert gas sometimes used in the spaces between the panes in energy efficient windows. This gas is used because it will transfer less heat than air. Therefore, it provides...
