Energy Saving
How much could I reduce my carbon footprint by installing Dalgan’s Energy Efficient Windows?
According to BFRC statistics, is recognized that if you live in a single glazed house and install Energy Efficient Windows, you could reduce the energy you use each year by about 18%. This translates to 0.3 tonnes a year, based on an ‘average, semi detached house’
What is the BFRC?
The BFRC (Bristich Fenestration Rating Council) is a subsidiary of the Glass and Glazing Federation. It has developed a scheme to rate Energy Efficient Windows. The voluntary scheme involves applying energy labels specifically produced for windows. These labels are similar to the energy labels seen on household appliances. The standards set for these rating are extremely stringent and requirement multiple energy tests.
What is an Energy Efficient Window and how do they work?
The Dalgan Energy Efficient Window is different to the standard double glazing. The newest energy efficient glass is called ‘low emissivity’. The glass is made reflective by having a invisible metal coating on on the the two sheets of glass that make the window. The coating keeps heat in and home warmer in winter and reflects heat back in summer making the home cooler.
