Efficiency & Comfort: Windows
Constellation Home vinyl replacement windows are precision-engineered to achieve superior energy efficiency, helping you reduce your energy consumption and create a more comfortable living environment. Advancements in the window industry have vastly increased the energy efficiency of windows, dramatically reducing the transfer of hot and cold air between the inside and outside of your home.
High-performance glass packages options are available to provide superior energy efficiency.

- Two panes of multiple-layer, vacuum-deposition Low-E glass with an insulating chamber of argon gas
- 40% more energy efficient than ordinary Low-E glass systems
- 200% more energy-efficient than non-coated, clear insulating glass units
Thermal D7 Insulated Glass Package
- Two panes of multiple-layer, vacuum-deposition Low-E glass, plus an interior glass pane that separates two insulating chambers of argon gas
- 125% more energy efficient than ordinary Low-E glass systems
- Nearly 400% more energy-efficient than non-coated, clear insulating glass units
Thermal D10 Insulated Glass Package
- Two panes of multiple layer, vacuum-deposition Low-E glass, plus an interior glass pane that separates two insulating chambers of krypton gas
- 300% more energy efficient than ordinary Low-E glass systems
- Nearly 500% more energy-efficient than non-coated, clear insulating glass units
Efficiency & Comfort: Attic Insulation
Attic insulation is rated using a thermal resistance measurement known as an R-Value rating, which is a measurement of the resistance to heat flow. When insulating, the higher the R-Value, the greater the insulation efficiency. According to ENERGY STAR®, the recommended level for most attics in Maryland is to insulate to at least R-38 and up to R-60, an insulation depth between 12 and 22 inches (depending on insulation type).
Efficiency & Comfort: Solar Attic Fans
During hot weather, a solar attic fan helps reduce the load on your air conditioning unit by reducing the temperature in your attic. This in turn can help lower the cost to cool your home. During winter months, a solar attic fan helps move out warm, moist air generated by heat sources, which could otherwise condense and cause mold to form. Not only does a solar attic fan operate with no energy cost, it does so while increasing the comfort and safety of your home.
