Awnings offer many benefits, and one of the greatest benefits is energy savings.

American Society of Heating & Air Conditioning Engineers studies show that during the period of the day when the sun shines directly on southern facing windows, a fabric awning reduces heat gain by 55 to 65%. For western exposure, the reduction in heat gain is 72 to 77%.

Exterior fabric window awnings can reduce interior heat in homes and businesses during periods of direct sunlight by 77%. Since awning fabric doesn’t trap heat and moisture, an awning can reduce air-conditioning costs by as much as 25%.
