Jeld-Wen of Canada, a subsidiary of Jeld-Wen Holding Inc. has again been 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 of Canada has won the manufacturer of the year award six times over the last 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," says Robert Conway, vice president and general manager, Jeld-Wen of Canada. "We'd like to thank Energy Star for this recognition, and 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, Jeld-Wen of Canada demonstrated its commitment to energy-efficiency by launching KEEP OUTSIDE OUT; a comprehensive education campaign designed to inform consumers on the benefits of energy-efficient windows.
"In today's environment, consumers are eager for education to help them choose the right products for their homes," says Jeff Pigeon, Jeld-Wen of Canada's senior product line manager. "Our goal is to make it easy for our customers to understand stackable rebates and their potential annual cost savings."
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. Plans for 2022 include more information and tools to support consumers in their efforts to fully leverage available rebate programs in Canada. These programs include the Greener Homes Grant, a new federal grant program that rewards Canadian homeowners looking to renovate their homes 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.
