WonderStone awnings offer great energy saving benefits. In a typical home, more energy is lost through glass doors and windows than through any other construction element. According to the study of the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers, solar radiation through glass is responsible for approximately 20% of the load on an air conditioner. Window films and lightly tinted glass effectively reduce heat gain, as well as glare.
Awnings on windows and patio doors can reduce inside temperatures by as much as 8-15°, depending on the exposure of the window, the color of the fabric and the style and method of attaching the awning. A fabric awning reduces heat gain by 55-65% during the period of the day when the sun shines directly on southern facing windows. For western exposure, the reduction in heat gain is 72-77%.
