Glossary of Green Window Terms
Dayle applied her LEED®AP when she prepared and delivered a Window seminar to design professional guests of Londén Inc. She shared scientific knowlege to help designers use conduction, convection and radiation window physics for wise selection of windows and decorative window products, such as Londén’s Warmer Window insulated shading material. Dayle explained the benefits of well-fitted and caulked operable casement windows with fibreglass or wood frames, double glazing with low-e coating, or triple glazing, and argon gas fill to make the most of our windows. She discussed enhancing daylighting by choosing the appropriate sized window openings to minimize use of electricity for lighting and maximize enjoyment of green views. Decorating with window treatments was presented as both a creative and highly functional option for improving window performance.

The coolest shade of 'green' is the sustainable choice. Dayle Laing is a Professional Speaker, Educator and Author who motivates people to select the 'coolest shade of green' for beautiful sustainable interior design that enhances their body, mind & spirit."
"Using something warm to keep cool -- isn’t this mutually exclusive?" Since windows are frequently cited as the weakest links in the home building envelope, focusing on strategies to minimize/maximize seasonal heat loss/gain make sense for thermal comfort and energy savings. As energy costs mount, this will be even more critical. Some government programs have recognized the importance of improving energy use by providing grants for window replacement.
She spent hours compiling this alphabetical listing of sustainable window definitions which contains important terms for a good resource library. One can look up the major certifications and logos found on window products to find out if they are independently third party certified, and what the ratings signify.
