The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has divided the country into regions based on their energy-efficiency needs.
Look for your region on this ENERGY STAR® performance map.15 ENERGY STAR is the simple choice for energy efficiency achievements. For more than 20 years, people across America have looked to the EPA’s ENERGY STAR program for guidance on how to save energy, save money, and protect the environment. Behind each blue label is a product, building, or home that is independently certified to use less energy and cause fewer of the emissions that contribute to climate change. Today, ENERGY STAR is the most widely recognized symbol for energy efficiency in the world, helping families and businesses save $300 billion on utility bills, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by two billion metric tons since 1992. Join the millions who are already making a difference at Save money – and more. Installing ENERGY STAR certified windows and doors lowers energy bills and saves you money. With more efficient windows, you also use less energy, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
For typical homes, choose ENERGY STAR and save on average $101 - $538 and 1,006 to 6,072 pounds of CO2 which is an equivalent to 51 to 310 gallons of gasoline a year when replacing single-pane windows.Put an end to cold drafts and overheated spaces. ENERGY STAR certified windows and doors help keep your home’s temperature consistently comfortable. Even relaxing on your loveseat right by the window can be cozy with ENERGY STAR.Many ENERGY STAR certified windows and doors have a special coating on the glass that is like sunscreen for your house. Look for the ENERGY STAR logo on the product's NFRC label. Pella products offer the energy-efficient options that will meet or exceed ENERGY STAR guidelines in all 50 states. Some Pella products significantly exceed U.S. ENERGY STAR guidelines. Multiple Panes of Glass Two or three panes of glass means more layers of protection between the weather and your home. Colorless nontoxic gas that’s denser than air. Inserted between the panes of glass to provide extra insulation from the heat and cold.
Low-Emissivity (LOW-E) Glass Coatings In the winter, low-emissivity (Low-E) glass reflects heat back into the room, keeping it warmer. In the summer, it reflects heat away from your home, keeping it cooler. Block most of the sun’s harmful UV rays, helping to prevent fade damage to your carpet, furniture and window treatments. Many ingenious features and options help our products improve your home’s energy efficiency, such as: Different combinations of glass. Thermal breaks to further separate the inside from the outside. Our exclusive snap-in between-the-glass blinds and shades. Low-E coating removed around glass edge to greatly reduce the possibility of seal failure. What to Look For on the NFRC Label. The National Fenestration Rating Council® (NFRC) is a nonprofit organization that developed an energy rating program based on “whole product” performance – not just the performance of the glass itself. The NFRC label is found on every window.
