The Missing Piece
Case Study
According to neighborhood folklore, Amy’s 1904 Hosford Abernathy Cottage
originally belonged to a cherry farmer with a grand estate. The two-story carriage
house in the backyard once had a pulley mount to load horse drawn carriages.

windows when a sales rep from a window company stopped by to push their
replacement product. “I looked at the five figure estimate and then I looked at
the rippling leaded glass and custom molding in my windows, and said, ‘No
way!’”
Amy shivered through a couple of long heating seasons until deciding to do an
energy assessment as part of the Clean Energy Works Oregon program. The home
performance contractor laid out a plan with an array of energy saving options
including insulation, tankless water heater and Indow Windows. Excited by the
opportunity to bring down her utility bills and environmental impact with easy,
low cost financing through Clean Energy Works, Amy signed up.
After all the insulation work was done in the walls and ceilings Amy was ready for
her Indow Windows installation.
“I knew the house was more efficient but I still had cold drafts coming off the
large windows in my living and dining rooms. As soon as they installed the Indow
Windows the chill disappeared. The Indow Windows were the missing piece that
made my home both comfortable and energy efficient.” With the railroad tracks
several blocks to the west, Amy also noticed decreased noise. “It’s so much
quieter I moved my office to the living room and I have since added Indow
Windows to two more rooms.”
