Making Your Home More Energy Efficient The windows and doors in your property are just one part of the puzzle when it comes to achieving an energy efficient home.

The energy performance of a window or door is influenced by a wide range of factors, so it’s not easy to gauge by just looking at

You may see a U-Value quoted on a product’s energy label or promotional materials. This is a measure of how easily heat passes through the product and contributes to how efficient the product is. But this is not the complete measure of efficiency, and you need to take the overall energy label rating when considering the product’s energy saving potential.
