| The calculations for Window Energy Ratings are only based on the above Double Glazed Unit configurations in most simulations. | |||||||
| The following will affect the calculations, dramatically reducing the achievable WER | |||||||
| Thicker Glass Types | Reduces the G Value | ||||||
| Laminated Glass | Reduces the G Value | ||||||
| Patterned Glass | Reduces the G Value | ||||||
| Leaded | Effective area reduced - unknown for calculation | ||||||
| Georgian Bar | Effective area reduced - unknown for calculation | ||||||
| The G-Value has been significantly weighted in the calculation of the WER to allow older technology coatings | |||||||
| to be able to compete with the better insulating high performance coatings. The curious result is that the better insulating | |||||||
| coatings giving a U-Value of 1.1 can not generally achieve an A - Rating even though they give circa 10% more insulation. | |||||||
| The U-Value is not reduced by thicker glass, laminated or patterned glass | |||||||
