Understanding Energy Efficiency in Residential Glazing

I’ve recently been diving into energy-efficient glazing options for residential projects, and it’s fascinating how much of a difference the right glass can make. During a consultation last week, I helped a client choose between Low-E and double-glazed units, and the long-term energy savings were a game changer for their decision. Has anyone else had clients who were surprised by the benefits of these upgrades?

I had a client who couldn’t believe how much they saved with triple glazing compared to standard options. It’s amazing the difference a few extra layers can make in comfort and efficiency. Have you considered how orientation affects those decisions?
