Thanks for your question, I'll write regarding how to account for the heat transfer in the interstitial air space as soon as I get a minute. - Bob"
Larry Nissman replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"I have been reading the threads in this discussion and thought I would add my two cents. I am not a representative for AEP. I conduct energy audits in NY and work for an HVAC company. We have installed the AEP product for some of our clients and the…"
Andrew Johnston replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"I met the owner of the Advanced Energy Panels several years ago at a "Green" show at the Egg in Albany. I was intrigued with the program and have stayed in touch with the owner over the years. I have never worked for Jim or…"
Craig Bird replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"I for one, enjoy having a product representative chime in. No one has more facts about the product. Part of the fun of being a scientist is questioning those facts. I think Bob has done well presenting the product whether or not the disclosure was…"
Robert (Bob) Bacon replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"I signed up for the forum as soon as I found out about it while searching the web because it has threads about of lot of stuff that I am familiar with and quite interested in.
I never mentioned this forum or my having joined it to Keri and had no…"
Craig Bird replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"As far as fairness, accuracy and completeness, please start with discussion of the role of the larger air gap between the panel and the window in your overall r-value claims. Thanks,
Craig"
Craig Bird replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"Bob - I was referring to the air space between the window-Therm panel and the window. The testing seems to be done on the assembly including the larger air gap between the window and the panel. Air spaces can add an R-1 per inch, so the gap between…"

Robert (Bob) Bacon replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"Rod,
I have several charts that Window Improvement Masters has created in the course of our own analysis as well as independent lab tests that were commissioned by WindoTherm, our licensor that I would like to share, I would appreciate…"
Craig Bird replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"Wow, that's pretty bull-headed. It's pretty obvious he is using the frame from the licensee and a different material for the film. Is that not plausible?"
Stan Kuhn replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"Rod, I did investigate the product, that's how I arrived at my opinion, which hasn't changed even with all of the words, his and yours.
So I reiterate, not worth the cost, not durable, and definitely HEAT-SHRINK material, as stated…"
Bud Poll replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"Hi David, My thoughts as well.
Bob joined on Jan 18th and Keri joined on Feb 1 and miraculously made her first post on Feb 4 on the exact subject of interest Mr. Bacon wanted to discuss. Great timing Bob or was there more that needed to be…"
David Meiland replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"Robert, my hunch is that you have a Google Alert set up in order to find web discussions about this product, and joined here when you picked up this thread. Right or wrong, you're gonna get backlash when you do that, which you did. Folks on…"
Rod Fox replied to Kari Riedel's discussion Any feedback on Advanced Energy Panels (window insulation panels)?"Stan, it might be time to search in your medicine cabinet for a chill pill... ;) This product is great because of the following factors (and I have nothing to do with the company):
Highly reduced air-leakage (win)
Inexpensive when compared to…"
