The BFRC is the UK’s national system for rating Energy Efficient Windows.
The BFRC issued the following statement:-
If your home is single glazed or your double-glazing was installed prior to April 2002 then you could be losing more heat than necessary, and therefore money, literally out of the window. However, by switching to Energy Efficient Windows you can save energy and reduce your household bills by as much as £461* per year.
If you live in a single glazed house and install Energy Efficient Windows, you could reduce the energy you use by 0.30 tonnes or 18% – almost reaching the Government target of 20% reduction per household. Add to this other simple energy saving measures – such as insulating your home and turning down the central heating by 1° C – and you could be making a real impact on reducing your carbon footprint.
* Savings are calculated on an electrically heated house taken from DTI Quarterly Energy Prices.
