Abstract
Windows are a weak link in the thermal performance of a building envelope, and represent an important investment in the construction or renovation of any dwelling. This paper outlines some factors which affect a window unit's energy performance and introduces general guidelines for its selection, installation and integration into a Canadian domestic dwelling. Significant reductions in heat loss using higher quality windows can achieve a payback period of 3.5 years.
