Choosing and Using High-Performance Windows

It may surprise you to learn that windows are often the largest source of heat loss in a home. What characteristics of windows matter for energy and comfort? Operation style, frame style and material, glazing details, window size and location—all of these and more impact what window would be best for your home.

In this episode of the BS* + Beer Show we are joined by Passive House expert Enrico Bonilauri to discuss this topic, based in part on his study, “Emu Report on Building Standards," (https://share.hsforms.com/1YAWp2gZsT3...) and this article: https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/...

Enrico Bonilauri is co-founder and “chief geek” at Emu, a company focused on training, consulting and analysis for high quality building envelopes and healthy indoor environments, with extensive knowledge and experience in the International Passive House standard. Enrico is an Italian native and registered architect there. He holds degrees from Germany, Italy and Australia, and is the lead trainer for Emu’s Certified Passive House Training program.
