A: Thank you for your inquiry. This v4500 vinyl fixed window comes standard with glass unit configuration including 1 lite of Low-E 366, 1 lite of clear annealed glass, and argon gas filled unit of glass. As a result, this vinyl fixed window meets energy star specifications in most if not all regions of the US. The u-value (rate of heat loss through a window or door) is .26 and the SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient – measured amount of solar radiation transmitting through a piece of glass or door material) is .22.
