New Study Proves Awnings
Can Save On Energy Costs
For Homeowners
A new study found that awnings can provide significant savings on cooling costs and on peak electrical demand by reducing solar gain through home windows. The study, "Awnings in Residential Buildings: The impact on energy use and peak demand," was conducted by the center for sustainable building research at the University of Minnesota. The Professional Awning Manufactures Association (PAMA) funded the study to determine if awnings are a variable means of reducing energy and air condition usage in the home. Most U.S. residential neighborhoods do not have a significant number of awnings, unlike Europe, where awnings are used to reduce air conditioning use in the summer. The study investigated the energy savings for single family homes and the reduction of energy use during peak periods. Awning impacts were measured in seven U.S. cities across various climates,including Minneapolis, Boston, Seattle, Alberquerque, Phoenix, St. Louis and Sacramento. The study revealed that in all cities for all window orientation tested there were significant energy savings in cooling costs and peak electricity demand as a result of using window awnings. The amount of energy saved varies, depending on the number of windows, types of glass, in the windows and window orientation. Specially, the study found that in Phoenix, Arizona, a warm climate, window awnings can reduce the use of cooling energy as much as 23 percent compared to a home with completely un-shaded windows. In St. Louis , Missouri, a mixed climate, awnings can reduce the use of cooling energy as much as 23 percent. "Depending on the region a home is in, awnings can save home owners more than $100 annually, but energy savings like this are valuable beyond reducing homeowners' expenses." said Michelle Sahlin,managing director of PAMA. "When numerous homeowners reduce their need for energy, there is less demand for energy at the times of peak usage, resulting in overall savings to utility companies and the public from a decreased need to supply generating capacity."
