Quantifying Energy Loss from Windows to Enhance Efficiency

UIC researchers, led by CME Assistant Professor Aslihan Karatas, are studying air leakage caused by windows in Chicago homes. Supported by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, their project measures air leakage rates before and after window replacement, revealing its impact on energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Results aim to inform public awareness on maintaining windows for health, comfort, and financial savings.
