Energy efficient glass

 

A superior energy performance!

In addition to the Energy Star® standard, which is used to assess the energy performance of your windows and doors, we also recommend that you consult the harmonized North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS), more commonly referred to as "structural performance testing".

The NAFS standard evaluates a window or door's resistance to climatic elements such as wind, as well as its air and water tightness.

In Canada, the minimum requirements of this standard are specified according to your locality, and are based precisely on your region's climatic conditions.

Before purchasing your product, we strongly suggest that you validate the minimum performance category (PC) required by both your geographical location and the immediate surroundings of your home (location, product height, type of terrain, etc.).

Find your minimum PC easily with Fenestration Canada's Performance Calculator.

ENERGETIC AND STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE

ENERGY STAR® AND NAFS STANDARDS

When evaluating energy performance ratings for your doors and windows, in addition to adhering to Energy Star®’s standards, it is important to refer to the harmonized standard set by the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS). The NAFS specification is more commonly known under the name of “structural performance tests.”

As well as evaluating air and water tightness, the NAFS standard evaluates a door or window’s resistance to natural elements such as strong winds.

In Canada, the standard’s minimum requirements are determined according to your region and its weather conditions.

Prior to purchase, it is important to confirm the minimum required Performance Grade (PG) for your region and the surroundings of your home (location, product height, type of land, etc.).

Easily get your minimum PG with the Fenestration Canada’s performance calculator.
