Champions U factor is .28 and SHGC .21. This allows more visable light and yet is 12 points below the .40 enerystar standard, and 2 points below the tax credit requirement. You are right kristinbrottle that windows do go lower. as low as .18 but those numbers are overkill and you wind up altering the SHGC and visable transmittance to unfavorable numbers.
This video was not intended to list the top 5 in quality or value...I know for a fact that Gorell and Champion both offer far superior products and quality than any mentioned here...But that was not what was being listed here.
You missed the best window value on the market! Champion not only has a extremely low U value..(.29) but is factory direct! They sell, manufacture, and install their windows. There is never the "you have to call the manufacturer or they were installed wrong" excuses.. And they look great..More like a wood window then any other Vinyl window available today..
@champwindow .29 isn't really considered extremely low anymore. Granted it is pretty much you're minimum requirement, among a .30 or lower for SHGC, I know other manufacturers that go far beyond that. Peachtree for one can reach a .18 on some of their windows. But there are plenty of manufacturer's that can reach a .29 U-factor (not U-value)
if your list is accurate then why hasnt any of your companies on the list achieved this

Who's Gorrell? Never heard of them or Champion. I do know who Andersen is though. Interesting.
