Gentek EnergyPlus QUATTRO Glass

<<Back to HH Pro Contractor News​

In the past, determining the best window and glass package to meet ENERGY STAR certification was based on a host of performance test results – such as U-Factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, Air Tightness and Energy Rating – along with the specific Climate Zone location where the windows or patio doors would be installed.

As of five years ago, Canada had three Climate Zones based on temperature and weather conditions, with Zone 3 comprising the coldest climate and Zone 1 the mildest conditions. However, the challenge remained to ensure consumers didn’t simply look for an ENERGY STAR designated product, but explicitly that the product was ENERGY STAR certified for their specific climate zone.

Problem Solved!

Beginning January 2020, Canada established a single, uniform ENERGY STAR fenestration performance requirement for the entire country. The certification standard is based on the coldest climate of the nation, which further ensures optimal energy savings performance in all regions and climates. If a window or door is ENERGY STAR certified in Canada, it is certified for the entire country. Choosing ENERGY STAR rated windows and doors is now simpler, smarter, better.
