I don't know how you select your columnists, or if they are edited at all, but I find the article written by Dez Farnady in the March issue (March 2006, page 8) just plain uninformed. For a man who claims to be "in the business," he shows that he knows little to nothing about the retrofit side of the window business, and virtually nothing about high-performance glass. Someone "in the business" who still has aluminum windows from 1977 in his home should be ashamed and get out of the business because they obviously do not understand it. Low-E glass was not widely available in 1977, if available at all, and the early low-E glasses do not bear any resemblance to the performance available today. He is doing the industry and the country a disservice in not recognizing the need for energy-saving ENERGY STAR~R products, and promoting their use. We are proud of our products' performance and the fact that we have won the ENERGY STAR~R Partner of the Year award for three years in a row for doors and windows. We believe energy saving is very important to our industry and our country.
