Big, Energy-Efficient Gains
Most replacement windows today are double-paned glass units, and window manufacturers are quick to tell you to throw out your old single-paned windows and buy replacements, but you can get the same performance by adding this extra piece of glass and creating an air space between the two windows. At around $250-350 (installed) per storm window, they're well below the cost of a replacement window, and you get the energy performance of a double-paned window.
Here are the facts: the addition of exterior sound windows alone can cut air infiltration by 64.3%, bringing it below 2009 IECC (International Energy Conservation Code). Over 64% is a huge leap in efficiency that's not often accomplished in remodeling. Installing storm windows can provide the quickest payback of any energy-saving investment for your home within a few years.
