JELD-WEN & PANASONIC EARN ENERGY STAR AWARDS

Jeld-Wen of Canada has been named the Energy Star Manufacturer of the Year in the category of Windows and Doors for 2021. Panasonic Canada’s ongoing contributions to environmental protection and energy conservation, meanwhile, helped that company claim the Manufacturer of the Year for Heating and Cooling Equipment.

The Energy Star Canada Awards recognize organizations that have made outstanding contributions to protecting the environment through superior energy achievements. While it marked the first such award for Panasonic Canada, and the first times in North America for heating and cooling, this is the fifth time JeldWen has picked up the honour in the past seven years, bringing their total Energy Star award count to eight.

“Jeld-Wen team members are being recognized today for the innovation and quality they build into every window and door we manufacture,” said Robert Conway, V.P. and G.M. of Jeld-Wen of Canada. “I’m proud of my team. With more than 26 years of success in Canada, we still have an exciting future ahead of us.”

Early in 2020, Jeld-Wen demonstrated its commitment to energy efficiency by launching Keep Outside Out, a comprehensive awareness campaign used to market their specialized Northern TriPane Collection windows across Canada. The company also introduced an energy efficiency calculator to help consumers understand the potential cost savings they could achieve by installing Energy Star-certified window products.
