ENERGY STAR

The ENERGY STAR program has become an international standard to help consumers save energy and money through the purchase of energy efficient products.

The international ENERGY STAR® symbol is a simple way for consumers to identify products that are among the most energy efficient on the market. Only manufacturers and retailers whose products meet the ENERGY STAR® criteria can label their products with this symbol. Choosing an ENERGY STAR® labeled product over a conventional model could save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs.

North Star Windows & Doors includes Energy Star compliant glass in all of our product lines. To view the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS) and National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) Thermal & Solar Values ratings for all of our window and patio door products, please visit our Canada Greener Homes Grant & HER+ Rebate page.

For greater energy savings, consider installing windows and doors suited for colder regions than your own.
