Window on a Better World

(188 words)

Building a new home or purchasing replacement windows? Installing energy-efficient units will reduce your energy consumption and save you money. Energy-efficient windows will also increase your comfort, cut down noise levels from outside the home, and have less condensation in cold weather than standard products.

The best way to identify the most energy-efficient windows, is by looking for the ENERGY STAR^® symbol. Products that qualify for the ENERGY STAR symbol have been independently certified for their thermal performance, which sets them apart from the competition.

Look for the ENERGY STAR symbol to identify the most energy-efficient products and take action on climate change.

For more information on the ENERGY STAR international symbol or tips on energy-efficient products, call Natural Resources Canada’s Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) toll-free at 1 800 387-2000, or visit the OEE Web sites at oee.nrcan.gc.ca and energystar.gc.ca.
