Why Windows are Inefficient and How Crown’s Smart Window Inserts Can Help

PROBLEM: Windows are inefficient and are leading to an increase in HVAC usage to keep a building at a comfortable temperature.

Windows are poor insulators and are major carbon culprits in the built environment. According to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, “windows in the U.S. consume 30% of building heating and cooling energy.” The built environment is a major contributor to carbon emissions, accounting for almost 40% of GHG emissions in the world.
