Windows

Since the production process of glass is very energy- and emission-intensive, many embodied emissions are stuck in one window. There are even more embodied emissions in a glass facade than in a concrete wall. For this reason, the window area should be kept as low as possible and only as much glass as necessary should be installed. In order to minimize embodied emissions from the window itself, window frames made of wood or a wood/aluminum combination should be chosen instead of plastic.
