What to Know about Riverview U-Factor Windows
Riverview U-Factor Limits
Windows in Riverview must have a U-factor of 0.40 or lower. When choosing a new window, be sure to check the U factor rating to see if it’s 0.40 or less.
Energy Efficiency
A U-factor window can have a direct impact on your home’s AC power consumption by helping to better insulate your home against the heat of the sun.
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient
In addition to the U-factor, it’s important to check the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), as it measures heat let in from sunlight hitting the window.

Riverview FAQs about U Factor
What Is U Factor?
U-factor is a measurement of how well a window insulates your home. The higher the number, the more heat the window lets into the home from the outside. The lower the number, the better the window insulates your home against outside temperatures.
What’s the Highest U Factor Allowed for Riverview Windows?
Florida is largely a “Climate Zone 2” area. So, the highest U factor allowable for wall windows in homes is 0.40, and skylights can have a maximum U factor of 0.65. Riverview falls within this same climate zone requirement. Technically, Riverview is in a “Climate Zone 2A“ area, meaning it’s a hot and humid climate.
What’s the Ideal U Factor for Windows in Riverview?
A good U-factor value for a home in the Riverview area would be somewhere between 0.30 and 0.40. Going lower than 0.30 might be more than you strictly need for most of the year, but a rating higher than 0.40 doesn’t meet U-factor standards for Climate Zone 2A buildings.
Another Company Mentioned R-Value. What’s That?
R-value is a term that is used to measure the insulative qualities of materials in your home. Some energy efficiency experts or contractors who deal with general home upgrades might reference R-value instead of U-Factor. To determine R-value for a window from its U-factor, simply divide 1 by the window’s U-factor rating.
For example, a window with a U-factor of .20 would have an R-value of 5 (1➗0.2 = 5).
What’s the Best Type of Window for U-Factor?
Windows that have features like argon gas fills, multiple panes of glass, and ‘Low E’ coatings will provide the best U-factor ratings. On the other hand, windows with just a single pane of glass and no coatings usually don’t insulate very well.
How Much Does U-Factor Affect My Energy Costs?
The answer depends on what your home’s cooling costs are. Larger homes that need more power to cool will see a larger benefit from upgrading their windows than smaller homes with a lower AC power consumption rate.
However, it should be noted that the windows and doors of a home are where the most heat is transferred. Upgrading windows to glass with strong insulative properties can be a major improvement. Installing other insulation in the home is still important to maximize your energy efficiency benefits.
Are There Other Metrics to Track for Window Energy Efficiency?
Yes! While U factor can give you a solid idea of the energy efficiency of your windows, it isn’t the only statistic to consider. Another key metric to track is the window’s SHGC—an acronym for “solar heat gain coefficient.” This measures how much of the sun’s heat gets through the window on a scale from 0 to 1.
A lower SHGC value indicates that less heat gets through the window from sunlight.
