Want to window shop like a pro? It’s as easy as learning how to read a window Energy Performance Label. In the same way a nutrition label can help you decide which foods to eat, the energy performance label can help you find the best option among several replacement window types and manufacturers.
Before you place an order for new replacement windows, take a look at the Energy Performance Label.
The ENERGY STAR logo means that the window meets U.S. governmental standards for energy efficiency in your region. Buying ENERGY STAR windows will save you money and protect the environment by cutting back on wasted energy.
In order to be ENERGY STAR certified, the window system must be independently tested, certified, and verified by the National Fenestration Rating Council, or NFRC for short.
The ENERGY STAR logo certifies that a window is energy-efficient. But, that’s just the beginning. Window performance varies widely depending on materials used, construction, and window type. To truly understand these differences, you need the ratings on the NFRC label.
