Window shopping February 15, 2007

As part of an office-wide initiative to review our standard product specifications through a lens of sustainability, we recently collected and evaluated over 30 window samples from more than 20 manufacturers, filling up an entire room in our office with windows!

We collected detailed information from the manufacturers, including technical performance data, construction and operation information, and also solicited comments from our staff, property managers, developers and funders on issues of durability, maintenance and appearance.
Currently, we are in the process of summarizing our findings and recommendations, and meanwhile trying to locate two staff members who seem to have gotten lost in the maze of window samples.
