The U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) plans to invest $9 million in building envelope technology, and one area
of focus is high-performance windows.
According to Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, the average American family spends
about $2,000 per year on their home energy bills, yet much of that money is
wasted on air leaks. DOE says bringing more energy efficient products into the
market can improve energy savings and strengthen U.S. manufacturers.
