Building energy consumption mostly depends on heat transfer and solar gain which occur through the windows. An iniative is illustrated for the introduction of a window rating system for the domestic residential building sector, aiming to enhance the Italian market of energy-efficient products. An appropriate use of this system will allow architectural engineers to lower energy consumption in residental buildings and consequently to reduce CO2 emissions.
