Factors to Consider for Energy conservation /
Thermal Insulation factor
1. Direction of Exposure to the sun & wind(North cold but
windy & South- hot sun)
2. Exterior sun blocks such as awnings, shutters, porches,
trees or other buildings
3. Window components: size, type of energy efficiency,
type of operation, slant, glazing, weather stripping,
applied film (UV/ tint)
4. Type of energy efficiency for windows means single,
double or triple paned.
