I was able to download it after submitting my email and address. The analysis uses a single pane window (which many older homes have) and compares it to today's triple pane windows. Frankly it's not that surprising based on my experience. We've built several new homes the last couple of years with triple pane windows and the difference is staggering in heating bills. Especially when you consider that I'm comparing those houses to the same insulated homes that have double pane. Certainly an interesting idea worth thinking about. Robin – It’s actually free.

But the paying to see the report seems fishy. What size, style, and age house were they talking about? I have done extensive energy analysis on our house and come up with a attic insulation being the best ROI by far. I've done two energy models and a hand calc to determine our heating and cooling loads of our house before we installed the geothermal system. Hmm that is surprising.
