ENERGY STAR® Windows

ENERGY STAR® LogoThe Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have created an ENERGY STAR® designation for products that meet specific energy performance criteria. If a window has the ENERGY STAR designation, it will be labeled to show the zones in which it is qualified. Climate zones have different recommended energy-efficient performance levels for windows, doors, and skylights. You can use the NFRC label or the NFRC Certified Products Directory to compare ENERGY STAR products.
