 (EMAILWIRE.COM, June 13, 2013 ) Irvine, CA -- According to the infograph, windows can be responsible for 25 percent of an entire homeÂ’s heating and cooling bill. When paying for utilities, 29 percent goes to heating costs and 17 percent goes to cooling costs, the two most expensive parts, higher than appliances and electronics.
Heat is transferred through windows by radiation, energy movement from the sun and air outside, conduction (if the outside part of the window is hot, the inside part of the window will be hot as well), and infiltration, through gaps in windows that arenÂ’t sealed tightly.
During the summer, windows account for 45 percent of the heat coming into your house, over two times the amount that comes in from doors and walls. By just adding draperies to your windows, you can reduce summer heat infiltration by 33 percent. Adding light colored blinds that are close to the glass can reduce summer heat even more, by as much as 45 percent.
In the winter, while the ceiling causes the most heat loss at 25 percent, windows still account for for 10 percent of heat loss, and even more if you have older windows that arenÂ’t energy efficient or sealed tightly. Draperies can reduce winter heat loss by as much as 25 percent.
When used with other treatments, cellular shades can help even more.
