Back-To-Back Energy Star Awards for Jeld-Wen
Jeld-Wen of Canada was again named the Energy Star Manufacturer of the Year in the Windows and Doors category for 2022.
The Energy Star Canada Awards recognize organizations that have made outstanding contributions to protecting the environment through superior energy achievements. Jeld-Wen’s victory marked its second straight Manufacturer of the Year title and sixth overall in the past decade, bringing their total Energy Star Award count to nine.
“As an industry leader, the Jeld-Wen team makes quality and innovative thinking its top priority,” said Robert Conway, Jeld-Wen of Canada V.P. and general manager. “We are grateful to be recognized for our efforts and focus on energy efficiency, but our best work is still ahead of us. We are really excited about the future and the products we plan to bring to the market.”
In early 2020, the company demonstrated its commitment to energy efficiency by launching “Keep Outside Out,” a comprehensive educational campaign designed to inform consumers on the benefits of energyefficient windows.
“Our goal is to make it easy for our customers to understand stackable rebates and their potential annual cost savings,” noted Jeff Pigeon, Jeld- Wen of Canada’s senior product line manager.
In 2021, the company continued to evolve its education campaign by adding calculators for energy efficiency and by aggregating Canadian window and door rebate program information. This year’s plans include more
information and tools to support consumers in their efforts to fully leverage available rebate programs in Canada, including the Greener Homes Grant, a new federal grant program that rewards homeowners looking to renovate, with up to $5,000 in rebates. The rebates are accessible when consumers work with their contractor or installation professional and choose window and door products that meet specific energy efficiency criteria, like those offered under Jeld-Wen’s Northern Tri-Pane Collection.
