In California, SMUD (Sacramento Municipal Utility District) is taking energy efficient, environmentally friendly home construction to a new level surpassing even the stringent Title 24 energy standards in CA. To be used in the Home of the Future projects, SMUD has partnered with Plygem Windows as their energy efficient vinyl window source. Also, Mindful Living proudly offers Plygem windows in all of their structures!
From the SMUD.org website about Plygem Windows in the Home of the Future projects:
“Ply Gem Windows is proud to participate in SMUD’s Home of the Future! Ply Gem Windows, one of West Sacramento’s largest employers, manufactured and supplied our InsulateTM brand of energy efficient vinyl windows glazed with Solarban® 70XL Low-E glass. This spectrally selective Low-E glass reduces radiant heat gain and loss, damaging ultraviolet rays while letting plenty of light in, creating a more comfortable interior environment and surpassing all Energy Star qualifications.
