Homeowners wanting energy efficiency in their homes opt for high-quality Energy Star products. Energy efficient windows and doors reduce overall heating and cooling costs. They add aesthetic beauty and extra security. In places with extreme weather conditions like blizzards and heavy precipitation and wind, modern window design protects property and families from damage.
What is Energy Star?
The United State Environmental Protection Program has a voluntary program helping businesses become sustainable and environmentally friendly. They do this through superior energy efficient windows and doors. The program was first developed in 1992. The Energy Star label applies to a variety of products, including major appliances. Products with the Energy Star rating have been proven to provide more energy efficiency according to rigorous standards.
Energy Star Skylights and Windows
The National Fenestration Rating Council determines the performance criteria for Energy Star windows and skylights. These products have higher energy efficiency. They minimize lost heat and regulate temperatures through innovative new technologies. These windows have quality frame materials, multiple panes, Low-E glass, and gas fill. They also have warm edge spacers.
An Energy Star skylight will help control temperatures better through tubular daylighting devices that can bring natural light into darker places in the home. Additionally, the heat from the extra sunlight will heat the home. Homeowners save on heating and lighting costs.
Energy Star Doors
Doors with Energy Star ratings provide more insulation. They have more insulation than windows or skylights in most cases since they are solid in most cases. These doors have multiple glass panes, a tighter fit, and improved weather stripping. Additionally, they have improved core materials.
