ENERGY SAVINGS CALCULATOR
GIVEN DIGITAL REFRESH
»»THE GLASS AND
Glazing Federation (GGF) has
revamped its online Energy
Savings Calculator, bringing the
benefits of the latest technical
data and a responsive, intuitive
design to this powerful tool for
consumers and industry alike.
The GGF Energy Savings
Calculator makes it possible to
calculate the potential energy
savings a household could
enjoy as a result of installing

more energy efficient windows.
The results provided include
forecasted reductions in CO2
emissions, carbon usage and
annual energy costs.

‘speed and ease of
its functionality’
The original GGF Energy
Savings Calculator (launched
over 8 years ago) was

consistently one of the most
visited pages on the GGF
website, where last year more
than 100,000 consumers sought
information on buying glass
and glazing for their homes.
The new calculator is now
located on MyGlazing.com, the
website designed by the GGF
specifically for consumers.
As well as allowing
homeowners to research
their purchases and the

effects of installing energyefficient windows, the GGF
Energy Savings Calculator
is an excellent tool for GGF
Members to use as part of the
sales process.
James Lee, Head of GGF
Group Marketing commented,
“The beauty of this new fully
digitalized version is the speed
and ease of its functionality.”
