        "text": "When selecting energy-efficient windows, consider factors like U-factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), and air leakage ratings. The U-factor measures heat loss, with lower values indicating better insulation. SHGC indicates how well a window blocks heat from the sun; a lower SHGC is beneficial in warmer climates or south-facing windows. Air leakage ratings (typically 0.1 to 0.3) measure how much air passes through the window assembly. Your choice will depend on your home's orientation, local climate (e.g., in Alameda), and budget, balancing heat retention with solar heat rejection. We can help assess these factors for your project.",
