Summer is here, and with it comes the need for a comfortable and cool living space. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by investing in an Energy Star casement window air conditioner. In this blog post, we'll explore the features, benefits, and how to choose the perfect unit for your home. So, let's dive right in!
A casement window air conditioner is a type of air conditioning unit specifically designed to fit into casement windows, which are windows that open vertically rather than horizontally. These units are compact and easy to install, making them a popular choice for homeowners with limited space or those looking for an energy-efficient cooling solution.
Energy Star is a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that promotes energy efficiency. Products that carry the Energy Star label meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency, which means they use less energy, save money on utility bills, and help protect the environment. An Energy Star casement window air conditioner is a unit that meets these high standards of efficiency and performance.
There are several advantages to choosing an Energy Star casement window air conditioner for your home:
1. Energy Efficiency:As mentioned earlier, Energy Star units are designed to consume less energy than their non-certified counterparts. This means that you'll save money on your utility bills while also reducing your carbon footprint.
2. Compact Design:Casement window air conditioners are specifically designed to fit into narrow, vertical windows. This makes them an excellent choice for small living spaces or rooms with limited window options.
3. Ease of Installation:Many casement window air conditioners come with easy-to-follow installation instructions, which means you can have your unit up and running in no time. Additionally, their compact design often means that you won't need any special tools or equipment to install them.
4. Quiet Operation:Energy Star casement window air conditioners are designed to operate quietly, ensuring that you can enjoy a cool and comfortable living space without being disturbed by noisy appliances.
5. Improved Air Quality:Many Energy Star units come with built-in air filters that help to remove dust, pollen, and other airborne particles from your home. This can help to improve your indoor air quality and create a healthier living environment.
When selecting an Energy Star casement window air conditioner for your home, there are several factors to consider:
1. Size:The size of the unit you choose will depend on the size of the room you need to cool. You'll want to select a unit with the appropriate cooling capacity (measured in BTUs) for your space. As a general rule of thumb, you'll need roughly 20 BTUs per square foot of living space.
2. Window Dimensions:Be sure to measure your casement window's dimensions before purchasing a unit. You'll want to ensure that the air conditioner you choose will fit securely within your window frame.
3. Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER):The EER is a measure of an air conditioner's energy efficiency. The higher the EER, the more efficient the unit. Look for a casement window air conditioner with an EER of at least 12 for optimal energy savings.
4. Additional Features:Many Energy Star casement window air conditioners come with additional features, such as programmable timers, remote controls, and multiple fan speeds. Consider which features are most important to you when selecting a unit.
5. Budget:Finally, consider your budget when choosing an Energy Star casement window air conditioner. While these units may be more expensive upfront than their non-certified counterparts, the energy savings and long-term benefits often outweigh the initial investment.
Once you've selected the perfect Energy Star casement window air conditioner for your home, follow these tips for a successful installation:
1. Read the Instructions:Before beginning the installation process, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions carefully. This will help to ensure that you install the unit correctly and safely.
2. Gather the Necessary Tools:Most casement window air conditioner installations will require a screwdriver, measuring tape, and potentially a drill. Gather these tools before beginning the installation process.
3. Secure the Unit:Make sure that the air conditioner is securely fastened within the window frame. This may involve using brackets, screws, or other hardware provided by the manufacturer.
4. Seal Gaps:Once the unit is installed, be sure to seal any gaps between the air conditioner and the window frame. This will help to prevent drafts and improve the overall efficiency of the unit.
5. Test the Unit:Finally, turn on your new Energy Star casement window air conditioner to ensure that it is operating correctly. If you encounter any issues, consult the manufacturer's instructions or contact their customer support for assistance.
By investing in an Energy Star casement window air conditioner, you can enjoy a cool and comfortable living space while also saving money on your energy bills and reducing your environmental impact. With a variety of sizes and features available, there's sure to be a unit that's perfect for your home. Happy cooling!
Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, window are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.
