Measure the window you want to replace. Measure along both sides of the window and along the top and bottom. Measure the the lengths from corner to corner diagonally. Note each measurement, as replacements are custom made. If the window is out of square, the diagonal measurements will be unequal. In that case, order a window 1/8- to 1/4-inch smaller than the measured dimensions so that you can install a square window and seal the rest of the window frame opening to prevent air leakage and energy loss.

Consider also the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, which measures the window's ability to reflect sunlight. The better the reflective properties, the less you'll pay to cool your home.
