What Does It Mean to Be an Energy Star Partner?
BAYPORT, Minn., March 26, 2024 — Andersen Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Renewal by Andersen, have been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy with the 2024 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year—Sustained Excellence Award.
Andersen has been an ENERGY STAR partner since the Windows program began in 1998 and was the first window manufacturer awarded the ENERGY STAR National Window Partner of the Year in 1999. This is Andersen’s 10th Sustained Excellence Award (eighth in a row) and the 15th time the company has been recognized by the ENERGY STAR program.
The Sustained Excellence award is the highest honor bestowed by the ENERGY STAR program. Winners are part of a distinguished group that has made a long-term commitment to fighting climate change and protecting public health through energy efficiency. Andersen is among the nation’s leading companies in driving value for the environment, the economy, and American homeowners.
Andersen has a longstanding history of producing products that help reduce energy use, including its existing portfolio of energy efficient products and recent commitment to expand triple pane glass options to all its product lines.
"As we continue to work toward a more sustainable future, we acknowledge the pivotal role windows and doors play in energy efficiency. With our recent product expansions to support triple pane glass, we're making it easier for homeowners to choose even more efficient products for their homes, and contribute to a healthier world,” says Brandon Berg, senior vice president of research, development and innovation at Andersen.
Triple pane glass significantly contributes to meeting the newest ENERGY STAR version 7.0 performance standards by enhancing energy efficiency in buildings. With Andersen A-Series and E-Series products and Renewal by Andersen® Acclaim™ windows, there are many window and door products available that will meet requirements for all climate zones. In 2024, Andersen also introduced triple pane glass on 400 Series and 200 Series patio doors.
“President Biden’s Investing in America agenda creates unprecedented opportunity to build a clean energy economy, and private sector partners through programs like ENERGY STAR are leading the way,” says EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “I congratulate this year’s ENERGY STAR award winners for their innovation and leadership, in delivering cost-effective energy efficient solutions that create jobs, address climate change, and contribute to a healthier environment for all.”
Each year, the ENERGY STAR program honors a select group of businesses and organizations that have made outstanding contributions in the transition to a clean energy economy. ENERGY STAR award winners lead their industries in the production, sale, and adoption of energy-efficient products, homes, buildings, services, and strategies. These efforts are essential to fighting the climate crisis, protecting public health, and creating a clean energy future for everyone.
