The US Green Building Council established the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) program to recognize those in the industry that pave the way for sustainability and environmental-friendliness. Renewal by Andersen® of Northwest Ohio looks at our window options and the three ways we earned the certification. We also look at how you benefit from these three things.
1. Energy efficiency
We use Fibrex® for our frames and High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass for all our replacement windows in Bowling Green, OH. Both of these innovative materials resist the transfer of heat across their surfaces. The Low-E4 glass specifically is 45 percent more energy-efficient in the hotter months, and 56 percent more efficient in winter. This jumps to 70 percent and 45 percent respectively when you get the SmartSun™ variant, which features special coating for added UV light protection.
2. Material and resource conservation
The materials are sourced from byproducts of our manufacturing processes. Fibrex is 40 percent wood fiber by weight and 60 percent thermoplastic polymer. Our Low-E4 glass is also wholly recycled and remade. This means that nothing is ever wasted when it comes to Renewal by Andersen of Northwest Ohio. We ensure environmentally friendly products.
3. Indoor environmental quality
This refers to the quality of a building’s environment as it relates to the health of those inside it. Many things contribute to IEQ, including lighting, dampness and air quality. Getting our picture or casement replacement windows in Perrysburg, OH, can address the lighting. These windows allow a significant amount of light into your home. When sealed shut, our windows also prevent air and water from seeping into the home. This way, you can address dampness and keeps things fresh.
Renewal by Andersen of Northwest Ohio offers a range of customizable windows and doors that fit a range of styles and needs. All of our windows are environmentally friendly and highly beneficial to homeowners. Call us today at (419) 931-6970 for more information.
