Highly-efficient windows
H & H Design and Construction WHY ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS By improving the performance of your windows, you may be able to save on energy bills to heat, cool, and light your home. Furthermore, the DOE estimates that the average American household spends $1500 - $2500 every year on energy bills and estimates that 45 percent of this amount is for heating and cooling. By using the NFRC label to ensure they are meeting building energy codes, consumers can reduce their energy costs while improving their comfort. The NFRC label is highly regarded and commands respect throughout the building industry. In fact, to qualify for an ENERGY STAR® label, residential windows must be NFRC certified. NFRC’s rigorous certification program has even served as a model for some of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) efforts to develop its new certification body requirements.
H & H Design and Construction WHY IS IMPORTANT TO INSTALL ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS?
There are 2 factors you MUST consider these days when thinking on replacing or installing new windows in your home or building: High-impact protection and Thermal efficiency. The first because of the realities of climate change and the other because of the rising costs of energy. Windows typically comprise 10–25% of a home’s exterior wall area, and account for 25–50% of the heating and cooling needs, depending on the climate. Thus, it is critical to consider high-performance, energy-efficient windows when constructing a new home

COMPLY WITH BUILDING CODES
Energy efficient windows and doors are manufactured specifically for the US and comply with all building code requirements for the state of Florida. The Miami / Dade High Velocity / Hurricane Zone (HV/HZ) code has been adopted nationwide as the benchmark for severe weather protection and is accepted by most municipalities around the US.
H & H Design and Construction ďƒź TILT & TURN FEATURE: Tilt-N-Turn window is its dual action. TILT: The window tilts in at the top to provide cross-flow ventilation. TURN: When used in the turn mode, the window opens fully inward like a traditional casement window. This offers ease of cleaning at any building height. By having the sash open fully, it also meets egress codes in case of fire.
H & H Design and Construction ďƒź HARDWARE: These tough windows and doors frames are anchored in place by our multi-point locking system. Most windows and doors use one or two locking points at the most. Our products use a minimum of six locking points on every window and door Maximum corrosion resistance with ecofriendly, coated stainless-steel hardware One-thousand-hour salt spray tested and certified for resistance to rust.
H & H Design and Construction UPVC PROFILES MADE OF ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIAL
ďƒź LEAD FREE PROFILES: This new type of PVC-U uses calcium-zinc stabilizers instead of lead, thereby eliminating harmful toxins found in regular PVC during the manufacturing process. PVC-u causes a significant reduction in heat loss and therefore buildings fitted with PVC-u windows and doors require less heating and so emissions are reduced. Also, this profiles windows are also totally aseptic; neither mold nor bacteria can survive on or within them.
H & H Design and Construction UPVC PROFILES MADE OF ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIAL ďƒź EXCELLENT RECYCABILITY: It redirect recyclable recovered resources back to the manufacturing process. The process reduces PVC-u waste by providing a complete service for fabricators to ensure that profile systems are efficiently recycled. Every off-cut can be collected and put through the recycling process where it is ground into PVC-u granules and used in the production of future eco-profile systems. The PVC u contains 30% post consume .
H &H Design and Construction WINDOS, THAT SAVE ENERGY
STANDARD WINDOS
EFFICIENT WINDOWS
H & H Design and Construction ďƒź INSULATING CHAMBERS A thermal bridge is created when materials that are poor insulators come in contact, allowing heat to flow through the path. This windows have five insulating chambers which prevents thermal bridging. The outer chambers are routered to continuously ventilate our windows and doors, to maintain higher insulation values. In addition to lowering your heating and cooling bills, the insulating chambers and insulated glass in our widows and doors also provide a significant level of level of sound insulation.

ďƒź GASKETS AND DRIAINAGE This Windows uses twin-seal compressing gaskets and overlapping frames and sashes to make this the ultimate watertight system. We use one continuous gasket throughout the frame which seals tightly in the corners. All frames, sashes and mullions are routered to provide a reset space for the relief gasket, which is used to create a pressurized rainwater drainage system.

GLASS ESPECIFICATIONS: 1/2” insulating air space between two thick dual panes Latest solar coating technology of glass panes Glass coating blocks damaging ultraviolet rays Qualifies for energy efficiency tax credits with LOE 366 glass installation. LoĒ³ has a triple layer of silver. This is beyond ordinary low-E glass; LoĒ³-366 sets the new standard. Also, It blocks 95% of the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays – a leading cause of fading
H & H Design and Construction ďƒź DOBLE GLAZED WITH LO-E GLASS: this low-E glass provides a higher level of visible light transmission for a given amount of solar heat reduction. Variants on low-solar-gain low-E coatings have also been developed which may appear slightly tinted. This type of low-E product reduces heat loss in winter and substantially reduces solar heat gain both in winter and in summer. Thus, low-solar-gain low-E glazings are ideal for buildings located in cooling-dominated climates. Low-solar-gain low-E glass is typically made with sputtered low-E coatings consisting of either two or three layers of silver (also called double-silver or triple-silver low-E).
H & H Design and Construction ďƒź GAS FILLED: An improvement that can be made to the thermal performance of insulating glazing units is to reduce the conductance of the air space between the layers. In a sealed glass insulating unit, air currents between the two panes of glazing carry heat to the top of the unit and settle into cold pools at the bottom. Filling the space with a less conductive, more viscous, or slow-moving gas minimizes the convection currents within the space, conduction through the gas is reduced, and the overall transfer of heat between the inside and outside is reduced. We use of argon gas fills, with measurable improvement in thermal performance.

ďƒź SOUND INSULATION: The high grade, multi chamber profiles and special insulating glass, can reduce the noise by up to 45 dB, and thus only perceive 1/24 of the outdoor noise inside the house. Traffic noise is almost completely muted and calm is maintained. Even around major airports, sleep will no longer be disrupted thanks to this noise reduction technology.

• Energy & Cost Savings: Cooling Season Savings: climates that mainly require cooling, windows have represented a major source of unwanted heat gain. In recent years, low-E coatings that reject solar heat without darkening the glass have undergone a technological revolution. It is now possible to significantly reduce solar heat gain and improve comfort while providing clear views and daylight.

• Improved comfort: In summer, strong direct sunlight strikes people and interior surfaces, creating overheating and discomfort. Windows with low solar heat gain coefficients will reduce the solar radiation coming through the glass and associated discomfort. Low solar heat gain low-E glass (spectrally selective) reduces heat gain while still providing sufficient light and view.

• Less condensation: High performance windows with new glazing technologies not only reduce energy costs but make homes more comfortable as well. High-performance windows create warmer interior glass surfaces, reducing frost and condensation. Highperformance windows with warm edge technology and insulating frames have such a warm interior surface that condensation on any interior surfaces is significantly reduced under all conditions.
H & H Design and Construction ANOTHER BENEFITS • Lower HVAC cost: High-performance windows not only provide reduced annual heating and cooling bills; they reduce the peak heating and cooling loads as well. The peak load for a building is the maximum requirement for heating or cooling at one time. These loads determine the size of the furnace, heat pump, air conditioner, and fans that must be installed. Reducing peak load may allow homeowners to install a smaller heating or cooling system. Smaller HVAC systems cost less and as such can offset some of the cost of the efficient windows.
H & H Design and Construction Saving money and... protecting the environment According to the Consumer Federation of America, the average American household spends $1,500 per year on energy costs. But energy-efficient windows can help save a bundle. In fact, you can reduce your energy bills by one-third by simply using low-emissivity glass.
