The SWIP Campaign invites diverse partners to participate in an inclusive effort to build the Storm Window and Insulating Panel platform to serve all Americans. were upgraded with low-e storm windows and insulating window panels, homeowners and businesses could collectively save over a quadrillion Btu of energy and $20 billion per year. Department of Energy estimates that if all single pane and all double pane clear glass windows in the U.S. ![]() In addition to energy savings at lower cost, building owners who upgrade their windows offer their employees and tenants improved comfort and other benefits. Similar benefits can be achieved in the commercial sector, where single pane or double-pane clear glass windows are common in older buildings. Other benefits include added comfort, operability, acoustic improvements, and aesthetic appeal. Installation is relatively easy, with 80 percent being DIY installations. These savings compare to double-pane window replacement savings, but at the third of the cost and payback periods as low as 4 years. Field demonstration have confirmed year-round HVAC system energy reductions of 10-30 percent in homes with single-pane or double-pane clear glass windows. homes have single-pane windows or double-pane clear glass windows, which are inherently inefficient and poor insulators, and about 40 percent of commercial buildings have single-pane windows. Of the nearly 40 quads of primary energy used in residential and commercial buildings each year 1, just over 40 percent is attributed to heating and cooling buildings. Participants in the Campaign can be recognized for taking action to install high-efficiency storm windows and insulating window panels, and for achievements related to innovative program approaches, impactful marketing campaigns, innovative training and educational resources, and more. The Campaign serves as a national platform to host research and useful resources, including field demonstration results, case studies, and utility program best practices, and to recognize successes. The SWIP Campaign works with stakeholder partners, including utilities and efficiency groups, contractors, weatherization programs, energy service companies, product suppliers and manufacturers, trade and professional groups, program implementers, and others who support the Campaign’s goals. Department of Housing or weatherization programs, or households in historic preservation districts. Storm windows are an affordable option for homes where full window replacement may not be feasible, such as lower-income households, multi-family households, households working with U.S. The SWIP Campaign is focused on speeding the upgrade of old, inefficient single and double-pane clear glass windows with ENERGY STAR certified storm windows, or with Attachments Energy Rated Council (AERC) rated insulated panels in commercial buildings. Department of Energy (DOE) is working with partners on new collaborative initiatives to accelerate the adoption of high-efficiency storm windows and insulated window panels.
