This week we have our second mini lesson on windows.\xa0 Last week we went over the different window styles.\xa0 If you don\u2019t know the difference between a single hung and a double hung window or what a casement window is, take a listen to last week\u2019s show, episode 41.\xa0

Today we\u2019ll learn about the energy efficiency of windows. \xa0 A window's energy efficiency is dependent upon all of its components\u2014the window frame, the glazing and the coatings.\xa0 We\u2019ll talk specifically about each of those components, including the different materials used for the frames, double and triple glazed windows and low E windows.
