ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED WINDOWS
ENERGY STAR is the international symbol of excellence in terms of energy efficiency.
As of January 1, 2020, for residential windows and doors to be deemed an ENERGY STAR certified product the door or window must meet or exceed an ER rating of 34. For the U-factor equivalences, please refer to the tables below.
Energy efficiency requirements: Window and door models must meet or exceed the requirements in Table 2 or Table 3
Windows and doors can cause a significant loss of energy in your home, up to 35%! In Canada, this translates into higher energy bills.
Energy efficient doors and windows can help you reduce them.
By replacing your windows with ENERGY STAR certified models, you can save approximately 45% on your energy bill, while a new ENERGY STAR certified door uses 25% less energy than an ordinary door. The most energy efficient ENERGY STAR windows are up to 89% more efficient than regular windows.
