摘要

Post-recession consumers are careful with their dollars, and cutting energy costs is important for many home owners. "It's all about energy efficiency," said Rose Quint, associate vice president for survey research at the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The NAHB's 2012 "What Home Buyers Really Want" survey found 98% of respondents considered Energy-Star approved windows either essential or desirable. In addition, 69% said the same of triple-pane glass and 67% favor low-e insulting glass.
