Your windows and doors are a thermal hole in the house.

Why glass leaks so much energy

A single pane of glass has almost no insulating value on its own. Heat crosses a window three ways — conducted through frame and glass, carried by drafts around bad seals, and radiated straight through the pane. The last one dominates.

50%

of a home's heating or cooling load can move through fenestration — the single largest envelope pathway.

76%

of the sunlight hitting a standard double-pane window becomes heat inside during cooling season.

– 2/3

of the heat lost through a window escapes as radiant transfer through the glass itself, not the frame.

Choosing sustainable solutions helps your home pass inspection

Sustainable, high-performance windows and doors are essentially what lets you pass Title 24 in the first place — the products that hit the required U-factor (≤0.30) and SHGC (≤0.23) are the well-built, energy-efficient ones: dual-pane, Low-E, quality frames. So compliance and sustainability aren't two separate goals; choosing the sustainable option is how you clear the code.

Every renovation in Orange County has a recycling threshold it has to clear.

Under the county's Construction & Demolition program, permitted projects aren't signed off until they prove diversion. Your old windows and doors are part of that count — and what replaces them is graded on the NFRC label.

65%

Minimum diversion required by weight for applicable C&D projects countywide.
