A nonprofit that develops energy performance ratings and labels for windows, doors and skylights, widely used by builders and code officials.
The National Fenestration Rating Council is a nonprofit that sets up systems for rating the energy performance of windows, doors and skylights. The labels you see on new windows come from its approach. Homeowners in Nashville often read about NFRC ratings when they replace windows and want to understand how the glass performs.
Window treatments add a layer over the glass, and the glass itself matters too. Understanding ratings such as U-factor and solar heat gain helps you decide whether a treatment is meant to fix a problem or simply add comfort and style. We explain how a shade, a shutter or a drape works with the window you have, in plain language.
