What Makes a Window Energy Efficient?
Numerous factors, including how the frame and ashes are
engineered and built, the type of class used (single-,
double- or triple-pane), the weather-stripping, the type of
low-emissivity coating on the glass and the presence of
argon or krypton gas.
What Is Energy Star?
ENERGY STAR is a U.S. government program—administered by the
Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency
with the cooperation of manufacturers—that’s designed to
reduce the consumption of fossil fuels through the education
of consumers. The program covers many different types of
products. Windows and doors can only carry the ENERGY STAR
label if they are tested by an independent laboratory
through the NFRC program and meet specific, predetermined
U-value ratings. By selecting ENERGY STAR products, you will
reduce your energy costs and help make the environment
cleaner.
