The WP4500 has a large enough opening to fit over the window sash of an installed window.
Common Applications
Replacement window sales: The Window Energy Profiler is great for testing the existing windows in a home to determine the necessity for new replacement windows. Comparing existing window performance to the performance of the replacement windows offers quantifiable evidence that the replacement windows will make a difference on energy bills, UV damage, natural daylight, etc. Use it alongside the Window Profiler Sales Brochure – a guide designed to help you use the Window Energy Profiler to you sell your window’s energy performance.
Portable quality control: Test windows at the job site before installation. Remove any incorrect windows before they are installed to prevent major time and money consuming headaches.
Energy Auditors in the field: The WP4500 is the perfect tool to test the energy performance characteristics of installed windows
Identify and differentiate Low-E coatings: By comparing the performance numbers of windows to data sheets, you can determine the type of Low-E coating on windows. For example, you can differentiate Cardinal 366 from 272 or PPG SolarBan 70 from SolarBan 60 in production or in the field.
