Living with Climate Change
Think about what we’re talking about for a moment…
Our society is rife with waste. A pressing example of this for the building industry is that a typical modern home in Australia sacrifices around half of its heating energy to the atmosphere through windows. And this is just the energy expended from within your home, not the energy consumed in the grid to get it there or the unnecessary losses generated by poorly specified and functioning appliances.
Regardless of what you believe about climate change, or the relative merits of clean coal, nuclear, wind power or any other technology that captivates the debate, one key way of addressing our environmental impact still remains, as it has for decades: stop wasting energy!
Choosing better windows can be one of the most impactful ways you can reduce the amount of energy wasted in your home — quietly doing their job, year in, year out.
