Environment

Commercial and residential buildings emit 23% of Australia's greenhouse gas.

Purchasers of windows and doors can support the environment and protect themselves against high energy costs and loud noise if quotations are assessed on:

Style,
Functionality,
Cost and
Performance Criteria - U Value, SHGC and Rw Rating.

If your supplier can't provide a U Value, SHGC and an Rw Rating, chances are they can't provide the solution you need. That's not good for the environment or good for you!

Higher Australian Energy Star Rating Requirements

Energy Smart Windows enables you to exceed the requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and subsequent reviews of minimum standards.

Energy Ratings depends on:

the layout of the home
the construction materials in the roof, walls, windows, doors and floor
the orientation of windows and shading to the sun's path and local breezes
how well these suit the local climate

Australian minimum energy efficiency standards are being upgraded to 6-stars in the BCA to:

limit household energy consumption on heating and cooling
drive significant ongoing improvement in the energy efficiency of Australian buildings
reduce Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions
