Since glazing plays such a vital role in an energy efficient residence, I decided not to compromise the design with the use of factory manufactured windows, but rather to design a more dependable, higher performance, lower maintenance, less expensive, and more user friendly window, which we assembled on-site, as shown in the photos above and below.
For experts in the field of solar design, window manufacturers provide a very limited selection of high performance glass and energy efficient glazing components available for their window products, and in general, have begun a disappointing shift away from quality control in favor of a less expensive business strategy of reducing what is returned to the factory because, according an industry source, many consumers don't understand the subtle differences between a good and a bad window. So, I decided it was time to design a better window.
