“Today we hit a high of 115 degrees in downtown Vancouver, which beats the previous all-time record of 108 set yesterday. This is absolutely unprecedented here, and I just wanted to preface this by setting that stage . . . The building is performing absolutely amazingly. I remember previous 95- and 100- degree days when it would be 90 degrees on the southwest facing rooms in the afternoon and there’d be nothing I could do about it, so to see the entire fourth floor within one degree of setpoint at 72 degrees is an absolute confirmation that these windows work.”– David Berg, VP of Property Management
915 Broadway Street – Vancouver, Washington
This four-story, multi-tenant building was built primarily with single-pane windows, offering little insulation from variable exterior temperatures that had only been exacerbated by climate change. This building installed 6,000 square feet of WinSert–Alpen’s high performance, super-insulating, secondary window inserts–turning those single-pane windows into effective triple-pane windows, significantly improving the thermal performance.

THE PROJECT:
- Uneven thermal performance
- Periodically uncomfortable working environment
- High energy loads
THE SOLUTION:
- WinSert Plus super-insulating, ultra-high performance window inserts
THE RESULTS:
- Effective triple-pane performance at a fraction of the cost of double-pane, full window replacement
- Reduced energy loads
- Extremely fast installation with virtually zero tenant disruption
- Significantly improved thermal comfort

“I’d definitely recommend secondary windows. The installation was painless and they’re performing exactly the way we expected them to. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to consider this for your commercial building.”
—David Berg, Vice President of Property Management, Hurley Development.

About WinSert secondary window inserts
Improve the thermal performance and energy efficiency of existing single-pane windows at a fraction of the cost of full window replacement.
A patented technology that incorporates an innovative use of thin glass technology and high performance, insulated fiberglass frames, WinSert offers a high performance alternative to expensive window replacement.
These window inserts attach directly to the interior of existing windows with minimal to no penetrations of the building, making installation fast, easy, and minimally disruptive. Contact us to learn more or discuss the custom capabilities of WinSert for YOUR project!
