Let’s take a look at a few things one should take into account to build an energy-efficient hotels with windows:
Go for sustainable options
Low-emissivity windows prevent excessive heat from entering inside and are a sustainable choice. They block UV rays indoors, making you naturally more relaxed, simultaneously decreasing the carbon footprint and reducing the dependence on artificial cooling.
Consider the cost.
The cost of a new energy-efficient window depends on many factors like the frame material, size, and style. A coating of metal oxide on the fenestration glass frame minimises excessive solar heat absorption, lowering the overall energy cost improving thermal comfort while providing a sense of openness by bringing in the views.
UV ray protection
Energy-efficient windows offer protection from UV rays, which is vital for the health of the guests and the interiors too – mainly the paint and furniture. Applying a special coating on its glass frame would act like sunscreen for the hotel and will protect rugs, carpets, fabrics, and furniture from the sun’s ultraviolet rays keeping them warm, fresh and glare-free.
Double or triple glazing
Glazing systems available in the market can easily boggle one’s mind. Today, double-glazed systems are available with minimum e-coating low-conductance gas fillings. These mechanised systems boost the energy efficiency over clear glass, reduce condensation in cold climates and cut down on fabric fading.
