Common Myths • Historic Tax Credits prevent use of green
technologies – Best green technology is in the systems – HTC concerns visual building aspects
• New windows are better than old ones – Intrinsic energy of the original window
– Lifespan of original windows much longer – Original windows + storms = U-value of new
• Measured winter performance of storm windows. Klems, Joseph H. 08-23-2002. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Costs & Savings
• e complete set of systems cost $100,000
• ey increased construction costs by 5%
• We are saving between $1700-$2000 per month in utility bills because of the system
• at’s an approx FOUR YEAR payback period
