Awnings ...an energy saving bonus
Did you know that properly placed aluminum awnings can reduce the summer temperature in a room by as much as 8 to 15 degrees? Tests by both The National Bureau of Standards and The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers have clearly demonstrated the value of window awnings as an easily available energy saving resource for most homeowners.
One test by The Bureau of Standards demonstrated how awnings on two windows of a four hundred square foot room cut the air conditioning requirements from a large one horsepower 220 volt unit to a 3/4 horsepower 110 volt unit; with resultant savings on the purchase price of the air conditioner, the wiring, and overall operating costs. In addition, the same researchers found that aluminum awnings provide an energy saving bonus in winter time as well by cutting drafts and thereby reducing fuel usage!
