Inefficient Windows Are Costing You More Than You Think
Your windows could be driving up energy costs, reducing net operating income, and limiting your property’s potential value.
LuxWall’s Capital, Asset, Savings Evaluation (CASE) uses your building’s data to uncover opportunities to reduce operating expenses, preserve capital, and increase potential asset value.

CASE stands for Capital, Asset, Savings Evaluation.
Rather than relying on generalized assumptions, CASE evaluates your building’s characteristics and available operational data to develop a clearer picture of the potential economic impact of an envelope upgrade.
The result is a property-specific business case designed to help you evaluate the investment with greater confidence.
What is a LuxWall CASE Assessment?
Energy & Operating Savings
Estimated reductions in energy consumption and annual utility expenses.
Capital Investment
Potential retrofit costs, avoided replacement costs, and available utility incentives.
Payback & ROI
Estimated payback period and potential return on investment.
Net Operating Income
How reduced operating expenses could affect owner cash flow.
Asset Value Potential
Illustrative property value supported by incremental NOI and capitalization-rate assumptions.
Cost of Doing Nothing
The potential financial impact of maintaining existing inefficient glazing over time.
The Hidden Cost of Inefficient Windows
Inefficient windows don’t just increase energy costs. They can reduce net operating income (NOI), limit property value, and create unnecessary capital expenses.
Reduced NOI
Higher heating and cooling costs can eat into your building’s net operating income.
Unrealized asset value
Lower operating expenses can increase NOI and support greater property value.
Higher capital costs
Full window replacement can be costly. A Glass-Only Retrofit can preserve existing frames and reduce capital needs.
The cost of doing nothing
Every year of inefficient performance can mean more money spent and potential savings left unrealized.
The Economics in Action
At a prominent Manhattan tower, a Glass-Only Retrofit demonstrated how improving window performance can become a building-level financial opportunity.
