When it comes to energy efficiency in your home, the Energy Star label is the most important feature to look for. Almost any product manufactured for your home, including windows, can be certified an Energy Star product, a certification created by the EPA and Department of Energy.

The Window Source of Atlanta is proud to offer these energy-saving windows for your home. Here’s what you need to know about Energy Star windows.

In order to qualify for the Energy Star Label, the windows must be independently tested and certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) to meet specific energy-efficiency standards which are set by the EPA.

The parts of the windows which are examined during the rating process include the number of panes in the replacement windows, the type of glass used, the type of framing, whether there is a spacer, and the gas used to fill the spaces between window panes. For a more in-depth guide to how a window qualifies for the Energy Star label, follow this link to their website.

If all of the aspects of the window meet or exceed the standards set by the EPA, then they can be counted among all other Energy Star windows. The Window Source of Atlanta is proud to offer its customers Energy Star windows to suit all the whims of the seasons in Georgia.
