Choosing the Right Type of Windows to Improve Energy Efficiency of Buildings

Abstract:

During construction or renovation of the building there is a question of choice windows. The modern market offers several kinds of windows: wooden, plastic, aluminum, and combined models. The most common and constantly competing with each other are wooden and plastic windows. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of all types of windows and offers the advice on selecting the type of windows for energy efficiency in buildings.
