This week one of my crews has been installing the new Harvey Tribute windows in the new Energy Star home we’re building for a customer. This new line of windows from Harvey is a really great way to build green.
The Tribute window can be ordered with triple pane glass filled with krypton gas to achieve a U factor of 0.20! That means these windows are about 60% more efficient than the standard double pane argon gas filled windows that we typically use.
Some of you may argue that vinyl windows are not exactly green. However, I argue that these windows have almost zero maintenance (no painting) and the energy savings over time make them a serious improvement for the environment.
Be sure to follow the Total House Construction Series over at my Home Improvement Blog if you’d like to read more about this great new Energy Star home that we’re building this fall.
