Intro image for infographic about reading energy ratings
In Canada, energy-efficient windows begin with ENERGY STAR certification. These certified windows meet or exceed high-efficiency standards, ranking in the top 15 to 30 percent for energy performance in their class. Every ENERGY STAR-certified product comes with a temporary label, packed with ratings that help both suppliers and consumers understand what they’re purchasing or installing.

However, for the average consumer, these labels can be overwhelming. Our infographic cuts through the clutter, offering simple definitions and insights to help you easily interpret these energy ratings.
