Window insulation reduces heat transfer from one side of a window to the other. The U-value is used to refer to the amount of heat that can pass through a window, called thermal transmittance, with a lower score being better. The U-factor of a window can often be found on the rating label of the window.

The U-factor of a window can often be found on the rating label of the window. ==Energy Efficient Technologies== Below is a list of technologies that decrease heat transfer in windows: ===Other ways of improving the insulation of a window=== Using glass with heat reflective properties Sticking on thermal reflective plastic Double glazing using heat-shrink plastic film and double sided tape The frame used can also be significant, especially if they are made from a high thermal conductivity material such as metal. In this case, plastic spacers should be used to create thermal breaks between the inner and outer sections of the frame. ==See also== Insulated glazing Quadruple glazing Window film Window insulation film ==References==
