What is ENERGY STAR?
ENERGY STAR was created to help consumers easily identify products, homes and buildings
that save energy and money, and help protect the environment. As the government-backed,
trusted symbol for energy efficiency, the ENERGY STAR label identifies highly efficient
products and designates superior energy performance in homes and buildings. Learn more

ENERGY STAR for Windows & Doors
Want more from your doors & windows? Ask for ENERGY STAR.
ENERGY STAR qualified windows & doors save you energy and money, increase the comfort of
your home, and protect your valuable possessions from sun damage. They are also better
for the environment because lowering your energy use means less air pollution from power plants.
Residential Windows & Doors Product Criteria
The ENERGY STAR criteria for residential windows and doors are tailored to four Climate
Zones. A product's energy efficiency for a given climate is based on its impact on heat
gain and loss in cold weather and heat gain in warm weather. Windows that are energy
efficient in Florida will not necessarily be energy efficient in Michigan and vice-versa.
Climate Zones for ENERGY STAR Qualification Criteria
The four Climate Zones for ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors, and skylights are:
- Northern: mostly heating
- North/Central: heating and cooling
- South/Central: cooling and heating
- Southern: mostly cooling
