ENERGY STAR®
The Most Valuable Label Anywhere. See It and Save!
|
The ENERGY STAR® is given to windows and doors that meet or exceed federal energy-efficiency and quality guidelines, without sacrificing performance.
 |
Whether replacing windows in an older house or choosing windows for a new house, your decisions on what type of windows to buy will be among the most important decisions you will make in terms of energy use. Because of the impact windows have on both heat loss and heat gain, proper selection of products can be confusing.

|
To add to the complexity, window glazing technology has changed tremendously in recent years. The best window glazings today insulate almost four times as well as the best commonly available windows from twenty years ago.
