Bad TEP, BAD, BAD, BAD!!!!!!
You never, ever, ever hang your professional position on a model if emperical (actual test) data is available. I am disgusted that TEP could not find the money to buy some of each window and test it for their own information. They are going to be the ones making recommendations to consumers, wouldn’t they want to know? Never use the model if you have the real data!
Anyhoo… Having put my hand in front of and behind a triple pane window at many home and garden shows, the triple panes with the proper coatings make a MASSIVE difference in heat rejection to the inside, which is my second biggest motivation.
My biggest motivation is finding something I can do today that will pay itself off in 50 years, when my grandkids look at me and ask what I have done to help save energy for them. That payoff is in 50 years in one lump sum!!!!
Buying windows is like buying a bicycle or anything else with lots of manufacturers in the market, if you buy cheap you can expect to be disappointed. If you invest well, you will have a good return on your investment.
What is your present day investment worth to your grandkids? They are the ones you should really be thinking about.

the computer model that TEP used was a very misleading test! They did not use the windows that Triple Pane Systems sells. It has been proven without a doubt that these windows really work!! You should really check them out for yourself…..you won’t be sorry.

Thank you for the straight talk not the triple talk. A company here in Tucson called Triple Pane Systems of Arizona claims on their advertising that their triple pane window is 47% more efficient than the best dual pane window. I wasn’t sure about that, thanks for setting the record straight.

Great information. Replacing windows is one of the most important home improvements you can do to improve the energy efficiency of your home.
