Recently EECA Energywise™ has retired the ENERGY STAR mark from the market and has decided not to continue promoting the label.
This affects the energy rating performance requirements of green/sustainable design projects covered in a number of Masterspec aluminium window and door sections. It relates to those aluminium window and door manufacturers who are members of WANZ and who were also ENERGY STAR members. The WANZ Window Energy Efficiency Rating System (WEERS) will remain, although the WEERS 3 star rating of Energy Star® endorsements will be dropped.
12 existing aluminium window work sections and 1 new section are affected - the relevant sections have been updated as follows:
- All references to Energy Star® have been deleted
- Section Schedules which included options for rating systems for windows covered, the appropriate R value and the corresponding Energy Star® rating, have been deleted
- References to the exclusion of single glazing in Energy Star® rating systems have been deleted
