We here at The Environmental Blog wanted to introduce you to Indow Windows www.indowwindows.com, which is a new environmental product company that has recently launched in Portland this last winter. They make a thermal window insert that just presses into place on the inside of a window frame to upgrade the thermal performance of a single pane window to almost be equivalent to a standard double pane.

They are addressing a huge environmental problem with their product! Buildings are the number one consumers of energy and windows are the number one source of energy loss from Buildings. 55 million residences in the United States and about 650,000 residence in Oregon still have single pane windows.

Indow Windows has worked hard to create an easy to use, affordable, and aesthetically pleasing product that delivers huge energy savings. You can visit Indows Windows website to see how their product works.

They have done an installation at People’s Yoga up on Killingsworth Avenue and they are super pleased with the increased comfort, lower energy bills, and dramatically reduced noise from trucks and busses passing in front of their studio on Killingsworth in Portland. Indow Windows reduce sound transmission by 50%, which was huge for them.
