Windows for Mid-Atlantic RegionPosted by: homevisions on Dec 05, 2011 |
|
Replacement windows are engineered for specific climates. For example in the southeast the emphasis is placed on lowering the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) (keep the heat from the sun out) because the average annual temperature is much higher than the northern states.
But, homeowners in the northern states benefit from the sun's heat in the winter. It is important to find a replacement window product that has a low enough SHGC to help in the hot Washington summers, but also allow some of the warmth from the sun in the cold, damp winters.
As seen in the graph below, the Mid-Atlantic region is just about in the middle of the thermometer in terms of average median temperature (54.2 MD & 55.1 VA).
