Wider Energy Saving Opportunities with Double Hung Windows
Double pane windows were often used for cold climate homes where homeowners wanted to reduce heat loss through their window by adding two layers of air between the glass panels. This worked well in the cold climates due to double double panes of glass providing better insulation than a single pane of glass. However double pane windows are not as well united to hot climates as they trap air between the double layers of glass which can result in overheating. Double hung windows provide energy efficiency without trapping that air inside the window.
