UMPA – Utah Municipal Power Agency. Annual Member Conference 2016. Windows are rated by a U-value, which indicates the windows insulating ability. The lower the number, the better the window is at preventing the transmission of heat. The U-value of a window is based on the number of glass panes, the thickness of air space between the panes and the type of window frame. Check windows for cracks, damaged frames or seals, rotten wood, missing putty, poorly fitting sashes, and draft.
