ENERGY STAR
ENERGY STARŪ labelled windows
ENERGY STARŪ is an internationally recognized symbol that indicates superior energy-efficiency in
its class. When evaluating your home’s needs, the ENERGY STARŪ label is an easy and convenient
way to identify the most energy-efficient products available.
Certified by an independently accredited agency for quality and energy performance, ENERGY STARŪ windows can reduce condensation and outside noise, reduce heating costs, protect from sun
damage and fading, and increase comfort by regulating temperature in hot and cold seasons.
They are an excellent long-term investment in comfort and value for your family and your home.
ENERGY STARŪ windows offer these benefits:
- Double glazing with a sealed insulating glass unit, not only reducing energy costs, but also
increasing comfort.
- Low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, which are like insulation and sunscreen on windows. This thin
layer of transparent protection, applied in the gap between window glass panes, improves your
family’s comfort by reducing the quantity of heat passing through the windows.
- Inert gas, such as argon or krypton, sealed between windowpanes results in reduced heat transfer
and minimized condensation, increasing the windows’ insulation U-value and energy efficiency.
- Low conductivity spacer bars that prevent heat loss and minimize drafts.
- Lower overall heat loss ratings (U-values), meaning greater comfort with less energy used.
- Heat transfer between the inside and outside of a home is slowed
- Heat reflection that keeps the sun out during summertime and keeps rooms from feeling drafty
during the winter.
- Reduced fading of fabrics and wall coverings.
