See how much new windows can save you — instantly.
Upgrading windows is a big investment. Energy performance decides if it truly pays off.
Most people see U-factor and SHGC and stop there. We built a tool that turns those numbers into money.
Why we built a calculator
Energy modeling is usually slow, expensive, or both. Many homeowners and builders simply guess instead.
At the same time, ENERGY STAR windows
can cut heating and cooling bills by around 10–15%. You can check the official ENERGY STAR window criteria here.
We wanted to make real energy savings of our windows compare to other systems visible in minutes.
What the calculator does
You enter your location via ZIP code, select window type (available for our Aluminum and uPVC lines) and basic data such as energy cost, total glazed area and heating type. The tool calculates energy use and annual cost along with air leakage savings, annual CO2 savings and more.
It then shows your potential savings and payback time. You can quickly compare different window packages.
How AI helps behind the scenes in Energy Savings Calculator
The AI maps your project to typical U.S. climate data. It uses window performance values to model heat gain and loss.
It then turns technical outputs into clear numbers and charts. You see “dollars per year” instead of raw engineering terms.
ENERGY STAR & code targets
The calculator can flag if your package is near ENERGY STAR. That makes it easier to pick compliant window options.
You can also see how far you are from higher performance levels. Perfect when you need a quick check before a full energy model.
For architects and builders
You don’t always have time for full-blown simulations. But you still need a realistic story for your client.
Use the tool early in design to test window choices. Then export or screenshot the results into your proposal.
For homeowners
Homeowners mostly ask one thing: “Will this really save money?” The AI calculator answers that in a simple view.
It shows estimated yearly savings and simple payback. You can tweak options and instantly see the impact.
Save, share, and iterate
You can save your scenarios and come back later. That’s helpful when you work through several design rounds.
You can also share calculations with clients or partners. Everyone sees the same numbers and assumptions.
What the calculator is not
This is not a full energy audit or stamped report. It’s a fast, decision-support tool for early design phases.
For final approvals, you still follow local codes and standards. But the AI helps you get to the right window choice faster.
Try it on your next project
If you’re planning new windows or a full project, try it. Run a few scenarios and see how the numbers change.
Then send us your plans, and we’ll price the right package and provide precise numbers for calculations.

FAQ
Q: Is the AI calculator free?
A: Yes. The tool is completely free to use — no login, no subscription, no limitations.
There is an optional premium feature if you want to receive your results and reports by email.
Q: How accurate is the AI Energy Savings Calculator?
A: It gives early-stage estimates. For final approvals, standard energy modeling still applies.
Q: Does it support all window types?
A: Yes – aluminum, PVC, wood, and hybrids.
Q: Can I export the results?
A: Yes, you can save your scenarios and share them.
Q: Can I use it for both residential and commercial projects?
A: Absolutely. It works for any project size, from single homes to multifamily buildings.
Q: Does it check ENERGY STAR?
A: Yes. It tells you how close your chosen window package is to ENERGY STAR targets for your climate zone.
