Air Leakage
Perhaps one of the easiest to comprehend, this is also one of the most common causes of rising home energy costs. In simple terms, air leakage occurs when the warm or cool air produced by your AC or heater escapes through small slits, cracks, or other holes in your home. Thankfully, you can eliminate this problem by having your home air sealed and insulated.
Energy-efficient windows in Iowa and Nebraska like those from Waddle Exteriors are designed to eliminate some or all of these problems. Multi-paned windows (with low-conductivity gases in between each pane) for instance, can significantly reduce the risk of heat escaping by convection, whereas thermally resistant window frames and edge spacers are excellent against heat conduction.
