EUROPEAN BUILDINGS HAVE OLD WINDOWS

EUROPEAN WINDOWS HAVE A BIG ENERGY IMPROVEMENT POTENTIAL

44% single glass

42% double glass no low-e

but it must consider.... >> both WINTER and SUMMER conditions >> different CLIMATE CONDITIONS using specific national coefficients >> only THREE MAIN VARIABLES linked to the window - thermal transmittance (Uw), solar factor (gw) and air leakage (L) >> the EPTOT TO SIMPLIFIES THE RESULTS, making them understandable also for end users and suggesting an average value for the window efficiency Window Energy Label arch.
