Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) 

One of the primary measures of the energy efficiency of a window is it's Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The SHGC measures the proportion of solar energy that is absorbed and transmitted by a window into the interior space. The greater the absorption and transmission of solar energy, the more heat generated within the house. Read more on SHGC...

U-Factor (Heat Conduction) 

Another important measure of energy efficiency is the U-Factor which dictates the efficiency of heat conduction across the window. U-Factor differs from SHGC in that the former measures heat loss from within a space where as the latter measures heat gain from the exterior. Read more on U-Factor...

Tax Information for Energy Efficient Windows

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has several provisions for providing tax credits for individuals that purchase energy-efficient products for their homes during the years of 2009 and 2010. In particular, energy-efficient windows with an SHGC and U-Factor less than 0.3 are eligible for a 30% reimbursement up-to $1,500 (not including installation costs).  Read more on tax credits for energy efficiency. Individuals can claim the tax credit using Tax Form 5695.
