Energy Efficiency Trends in Window Retrofit

I’ve been noticing some significant shifts in the types of materials we’re using for window retrofits lately, especially with a focus on thermal performance and energy conservation. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m particularly interested in the new insulating glazing technology and how it’s changing the job landscape. Just installed a triple-glazed unit last week, and the energy savings are impressive.

But it’s interesting to see how those triple-glazed units are making headway; they’re like hot chocolate — rich and cozy, but you’ve gotta pay for the good stuff! I think it’s pushing everyone to rethink their standard practices. Have you noticed any impact on installation times with these new technologies?
