U value stands for transmittance; the Uw value (w = window) is an important measurable value on the basis of which we can compare the thermal behaviour of old and new windows.
This value describes the thermal energy transmitted through a window from one side to the other in either direction. The lower the Uw value, the better the thermal insulation and thus the more energy efficient and economical.
Of course, the windows must be Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) tested according to Australian standards.
