Las ventanas y puertas de reemplazo han mejorado mucho. Los productos modernos incluyen muchas mejoras de ahorro de energ\u00eda. Hoy en d\u00eda, el rendimiento total de la ventana mide cu\u00e1nta energ\u00eda ahorra una ventana despu\u00e9s de la instalaci\u00f3n. Si planea <\/span>Reemplaza tus ventanas<\/span><\/a>, Aprenda cu\u00e1les son las m\u00e9tricas clave. Prestige Windows & Doors, l\u00edder local, puede ayudarle a interpretarlas.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Factor U<\/b><\/h2>\n

El factor U describe el rendimiento de aislamiento de una ventana. Mide la tasa de p\u00e9rdida de calor a trav\u00e9s de todo el conjunto de la ventana. Cuanto menor sea el factor U, mejor resistir\u00e1 la ventana el flujo de calor. Por ejemplo, muchas ventanas de doble acristalamiento ahora tienen un factor U de 0,30 o inferior. Si vives en un clima c\u00e1lido, elige una ventana con un factor U bajo para reducir la necesidad de refrigeraci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Coeficiente de ganancia de calor solar (SHGC)<\/b><\/h2>\n

El coeficiente de ganancia de calor solar (SHGC, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) indica la cantidad de calor solar que transmite una ventana. Su valor oscila entre 0 y 1. Un SHGC m\u00e1s bajo significa que la ventana transmite menos calor solar, lo que puede reducir los costos de refrigeraci\u00f3n en verano. Sin embargo, el calor solar puede contribuir a la calefacci\u00f3n de un edificio en invierno. Por ello, es importante equilibrar el SHGC con el clima local y las necesidades de dise\u00f1o del edificio.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Fugas de aire (AL)<\/b><\/h2>\n

La fuga de aire mide la cantidad de aire exterior que se filtra a trav\u00e9s de las grietas del marco de la ventana. Esta m\u00e9trica utiliza pies c\u00fabicos de aire por pie cuadrado de superficie de ventana. Un \u00edndice AL m\u00e1s bajo significa menos corrientes de aire y un mejor rendimiento general. Para obtener la certificaci\u00f3n ENERGY STAR, las ventanas generalmente requieren un \u00edndice AL de 0,30 o menos. Una instalaci\u00f3n adecuada tambi\u00e9n es importante, ya que las grietas y un sellado deficiente aumentan las fugas de aire.<\/span><\/p>\n

C\u00f3mo funcionan conjuntamente estas m\u00e9tricas<\/b><\/h2>\n

Ning\u00fan indicador por s\u00ed solo lo explica todo. Por ejemplo, una ventana con un factor U bajo pero un coeficiente de ganancia de calor solar (SHGC) alto podr\u00eda tener un rendimiento deficiente en climas muy soleados. Por el contrario, un SHGC bajo y un sellado herm\u00e9tico deficiente pueden permitir la transferencia de calor no deseada. Por ello, conviene comparar el factor U, el SHGC y el coeficiente de ganancia de aire (AL) en conjunto. Considere la orientaci\u00f3n de cada ventana, el clima local y el uso del edificio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elegir la ventana adecuada para su propiedad<\/b><\/h2>\n

Empiece por definir sus objetivos. \u00bfDesea reducir sus facturas de aire acondicionado, obtener mayor ganancia de calor en invierno o mejorar su comodidad? A continuaci\u00f3n, compare las certificaciones de fabricantes de confianza. Por \u00faltimo, tenga en cuenta la calidad de la instalaci\u00f3n. Una instalaci\u00f3n adecuada garantiza que la ventana cumpla con su rendimiento nominal, ya que incluso un excelente producto tendr\u00e1 un rendimiento inferior si se instala incorrectamente.<\/span><\/p>\n
