对华盛顿州西雅图的一个历史住宅的实地研究记录了Indow Windows内部防风窗插入的性能。在安装窗户之前和之后，监测了房屋的能源使用和温度分布，并检查了两个记录指标的变化。使用定义的分析方法，确定室内风暴窗减少了22%的暖通空调能源账单，并对房屋的热舒适产生了不确定的影响。虽然房子的热舒适度没有可测量的变化，但居住者注意到房子“冬天更温暖，夏天更凉爽”，而且“整个房子的温度更均匀”。内部防风窗被发现不符合成本效益，主要是由于对其供暖系统进行了改造。然而，如果经济分析是基于旧的供暖系统，一个效率为72%的燃油炉进行的，那么inwindow被证明是经济的，并且有一个简单的9年的投资回收期。
This field study of a single historic home in Seattle, WA documents the performance of Indow Windows’s interior storm window inserts. Energy use and the temperature profile of the house were monitored before and after the installation of the window inserts and changes in the two recorded metrics were examined. Using the defined analysis approach, it was determined that the interior storm windows produced a 22% reduction of the HVAC energy bill and had an undetermined effect on the thermal comfort in the house. Although there was no measurable changes in the thermal comfort of the house, the occupant noted the house to be “warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer” and that the “temperatures are more even (throughout the house).” The interior storm windows were found to be not cost effective, largely due to the retrofits completed on its heating system. However, if the economic analysis was conducted based on the old heating system, a 72% efficient oil fired furnace, the Indow Windows proved to be economical and had a simple payback period of 9.0 years.
