Most Energy-Efficient Windows Chicagoland

Are your windows outdated and underperforming? Auburn Corporation provides Architectural Services that will assist in evaluating current window efficiency and devise a plan through product specifications and application to reduce energy consumption and create an interior atmosphere & environment that is more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

Architectural Service Features

  • Window evaluation and budgets
  • Specification and application assistance
  • Water mitigation services
  • Continued education courses
  • Energy evaluation & glass performance that will change the performance of your building:
    1. U-factor: Correlates to the rate of heat transfer.  The lower the number, the better the window is at keeping heat inside a building and the better its insulating properties.
    2. Visible transmittance (VT) An optical property that indicates the fraction of visible light transmitted through the window.  Low E coatings can reject solar heat gain while allowing visible light to pass through glazing.
    3. Low emissivity (Low E) coatings: Microscopically thin, transparent metal or metallic oxide layers deposited on a glazing surface to suppress radiative heat flow without compromising the amount of transmitted visible light.  Low E coatings enhance thermal performance by reflecting interior infrared energy (heat) back to the inside.
    4. Gas fills: Improve the thermal performance in insulating glass units by reducing conduction in the air space between panes.  Argon and krypton mixes are commonly used because they slow the movement of warm and cool air and reduce overall heat transfer between the interior and exterior glass panes.
