The most energy-critical part of a building is its fenestration -- its windows, skylights and glazed doors. At Peter Lyons & Associates we work to improve the energy efficiency and comfort benefits of Australian window systems. When used wisely, windows can be a renewable energy resource and also a way to cut energy use -- and its associated greenhouse gas emissions -- associated with heating, cooling and lighting: Demand Side Management through better windows.
