Commercial Glazings Web Site

www.commercialwindows.org
The goal of developing tools and information is to assist designers
in making more energy efficient choices regarding windows and glazing in
commercial buildings (this includes manufactured units and site-built
systems). Meeting this goal requires a whole systems approach involving
the many functions and energy-related impacts of windows and glazing.
Similar to the Efficient Windows Collaborative web site, a wide range of information and tools will be available for designers.
