ENERGY STAR
ENERGY STAR was introduced in 1992 by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is a voluntary labeling program to identify and promote
energy-efficient products in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In 1996, the EPA and the US Department of Energy partnered together to expand their coverage to new homes, residential heating and cooling equipment, major appliances, office equipment, lighting and consumer electronics.
Stanek Windows started participating in the
ENERGY STAR program in September of 2000.
If all consumers made their choice to purchase ENERGY STAR labeled products, they would make a sizable contribution in reducing air pollution and protect the earth's climate for future generations. They would also help reduce the national annual energy bill by about $200 billion over the next decade. Remember, money is not the only thing, you the consumer, will be saving.
NATIONAL FENESTRATION RATING COUNCIL (NFRC)
The
National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a non-profit public/private organization created by the
window, door and skylight industry. It established a voluntary national
energy performance rating and labeling system for fenestration products. The National Fenestration Rating Council consists of architects, manufacturers, suppliers, builders, designers, utilities and government agencies.
The goal of NFRC is to provide accurate information to measure and compare the energy performance of window, door or skylight products. The NFRC rates the following: U-factor, solar heat gain, visible light transmittance and air leakage. In September of 2000, Stanek Windows started participating in this program.
