NFRC – What higher energy performance means for your home.

May 30, 2025 | Windows

What higher energy performance means for your home.

Higher Energy Performance for a Smarter Home
Windows, doors, and skylights do more than just let light in—they help control your home’s temperature and energy use. High-performance products regulate heat flow, keeping your electricity bills low while making your home more comfortable year-round.

Natural Light Without the Heat
Sunlight brightens your home, but it can also bring unwanted heat. Spectrally selective glass blocks infrared rays while allowing plenty of visible light, so your home stays bright without overheating.

Stay Comfortable in Any Season
Poorly insulated windows can lead to drafts in winter and overheating in summer, making your HVAC system work harder. Energy-efficient windows maintain stable indoor temperatures, ensuring consistent comfort no matter the weather.

Protect Your Furniture
UV rays are a major cause of faded fabrics and furniture, even on cloudy days. Advanced glazing can reflect up to 74 percent of UV damage, and protective films block up to 99 percent, keeping your home’s interiors looking new longer.

Insulation for Every Season
Think of low-quality windows like holes in your walls—letting heat escape in winter and pouring in during summer. Solar control window film acts as a transparent shield, rejecting up to 80 percent of the sun’s heat while helping maintain warmth in cooler months.

  • B.C.’s Building Electrification Sector Needs
    British Columbia has long been considered a leader in building efficiency and decarbonization policy through the development of the B.C.
