A U.S. government-backed program that identifies energy-efficient products and homes, including windows and information about window attachments.
ENERGY STAR is a program backed by the U.S. government that identifies products meeting energy-efficiency guidelines. It covers windows, doors and skylights, and its site includes tips for improving comfort and lowering energy use at home. Homeowners in Nashville use it to learn what to look for in new windows and how coverings fit into the picture.
For window treatments, the program is a helpful starting point for understanding how heat moves through glass. It reminds owners that treatments are one layer in a larger plan that includes sealing, shading and good windows. We explain what a treatment can add and what it cannot replace, so your expectations are realistic.
