Energy saving thanks to doors and windows

What is energy saving?

Energy saving is the set of behaviors that allow us to reduce energy consumption necessary for the performance of our activities. It is also a very important factor in optimizing the resources in their own home.
In this sense it will be good take into consideration for energy-saving doors and windows, because thanks to their technical features are an excellent starting point for improving the thermal insulation of the house.
To isolate homes, in fact, it will be good to replace doors and windows, main elements from which occurs the greater dispersion of heat for a building. The replacement with quality doors and windows will reduce the dispersions towards the outside and thus ensure a considerable saving especially on heating and on air conditioner.

Thermal transmittance

Doors and windows represent a critical point for energy efficiency as about 30/35% of the dispersions that occur in a dwelling take place through them; the unit of measurement that indicates the thermal dispersion is the Transmittance value.
This value indicates how much heat is lost through 1 square meter of windows in certain conditions that are 20° internal and external 0°, the lower will be this value, the better will be the quality of the windows. The total value of the window or door is calculated by relating the data of the frame and of the installed glass.
In our production windows that provides the best features for energy saving is the model Cielo, in its most performant wood-aluminum version, with frame of 75x16mm to which is coupled an aluminum profile of the top part/side of the frame. The lock off of the frames takes place via spacer clips screwed on the wood. This structure allows the separation between aluminum and wood, creating a gap of a few millimeters which allows the elimination of internal condensation.
The transmittance value of this line on a French.winowd size 1650×1500 with triple glass is 0.6 W / mqK for glass and 1.00 Uw / mqK for the whole window.

This is the window in the image below:

These windows behave in a different way according to the climatic season with the help of said specific glasses called “smart” and therefore they are able to maximize energy savings. In fact, during the winter they can keep the heat inside the house, in the summer instead reflect almost all the hot components of sunlight thus avoiding overheating of environments. All without sacrificing design.
