Window enhancements could be the most under-utilized energy saving technology. This course delves into the significant role that interior secondary window systems have in energy savings, efficiency, security, and comfort for existing buildings where window replacement is not desirable.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- List the options available for reducing energy loss through windows and discuss their pros and cons related to cost, efficiency, and installation.
- Discuss the basics of interior secondary window applications and describe how and why they increase thermal performance, and therefore, occupant comfort.
- Explain how interior secondary window systems can be used to enhance the safety and security of a building in terms of blast mitigation, hurricane protection, signal defense, and sound control.
- Identify the ways in which interior secondary window systems contribute to a variety of energy savings strategies for commercial building applications.
