BFRC Homeowner  BFRC Label  What Does the Energy Efficient
Window Ratings Label Tell You?     Each window rated by the BFRC
has a unique label  This label will display the following
information:  4. The effective heat loss due to air penetration
as L eg. 0.01 W/(m²·K) 5. The solar heat gain eg. g=0.43  Simply
put this will determine how well a product will perform the
functions of:   * Keep out the wind  * Resist condensation  *
Contribute to improved sound insulation  So What are Energy
Efficient Windows – Use Solar Gain to Benefit the Home  So
exactly what are Energy Efficient Windows? They are windows that
help to contain and conserve heat within the home keeping out
wind and rain, resisting condensation and yet allowing natural
“free” energy - the warmth of the sun - to heat the home. They
can be made using any frame material - aluminium, PVC-U, steel
or timber or even a combination of materials.  Energy Efficient
Windows are easy to recognise - simply look for the BFRC Label.
