Current Options that Increase a Swimming pool house Swimming pool house window energy efficiency. Manufacturers usually represent the energy efficiency of windows in terms of their U-values (conductance of heat) or their R-values (resistance to heat flow). If a window's R-value is high, it will lose less heat than one with a lower R-value. Conversely, if a window's U-value is low, it will lose less heat than one with a higher U-value. In other words, U-values are the reciprocals of R-values (U-value = 1/R-value).

Usually, Swimming pool house window R-values range from 0.9 to 3.0 (and U-values range from 1.1 to 0.3), but some highly energy-efficient exceptions also exist. When comparing different windows, you should ensure that all U- or R-values listed by manufacturers: (1) are based on current standards set by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), (2) are calculated for the entire window, including the frame, and not just for the center of the glass, and (3) represent the same size and style of window.

Today, several types of advanced glazing systems are available to help control heat loss or gain. The advanced glazing's include double- and triple-pane windows with such coatings as low-emissivity (low-e), spectrally selective, heat-absorbing (tinted), or reflective; gas-filled windows; and windows incorporating combinations of these options.
