We all love windows on a commercial building. Not only are they attractive, but they are functional. But when buying a building, here are some pros and cons of buying one with a lot of windows.
Pros:
- Natural light and save on energy
- Passive solar saves you on heating costs in the brutal NH winters
- More appealing to potential tenants
- Happy workers
But there are downsides to having a lot of windows too.
Cons:
- They are expensive to clean and maintain
- If they are older windows, the suns rays can damage carpeting and furniture
- They can create privacy issues for certain tenants of the building
- In the summer, it can make your cooling costs go up and tenants uncomfortable
Even though there are pros and cons to buying a building with a lot of windows, it really comes down to your personal and professional preference.
