THE ENERGY STAR® MARK SYSTEM

This is New Zealand’s only independent,

government backed mark of energy

efficiency. It is administered by EECA,

the Energy Efficiency and Conservation

Authority. The ENERGY STAR Mark is

applied to the most energy efficient products within a

category.

Windows and doors supplied by APL manufacturers will

qualify for the ENERGY STAR Mark when they achieve an

R-value of 0.32. This is a measure of thermal resistance.

ThermalHEART products with double glazing will qualify

for this Mark. Standard aluminium frames will also meet

this threshold if they include high-performance double

glazing, inclusive of Argon gas fill and Low-E coating.

WEERS

Window Energy Efficiency Rating

System

This system allocates between one and

six stars to a job lot of windows and

doors – so is more descriptive than the

ENERGY STAR Mark programme. The WEERS system

has been adopted by WANZ (the Window Association of

New Zealand) and uses its own star logo. The more stars,

the better the thermal efficiency.

Consumers will be able to see the energy rating for their

job lot of windows and doors on their window quotation

or in a separate report.

COMFORTChoosing windows and doors that enhance you and your family's sense of wellbeing makes perfect sense. Optimising temperatures, light and sound is a simple step that will increase comfort levels for all involved.

WARMTHThermalHEART windows and doors help retain home heat, offering up to 30%* better thermal performance

over and above standard double glazed products.*Based on a window 1500mm high x 1800mm wide with a sash / fixed light combination.

HEALTHThermalHEART technology gives certainty about optimum inside temperatures, achieving a more consistent interior climate. Careful glass selection allows even further fine tuning of environmental factors such as sound and light entry.

ThermalHEART technology creates more comfort, warmth, health in your home.Advanced ThermalHEART technology lies at the centre of each profile in the residential and METRO SERIES ThermalHEART ranges. The result - maximum energy conservation and interior comfort.

A thermal insulator has been cleverly included around each window and door to ensure that cold transfer is minimised and interior warmth is retained. This powerful enhancement combined with double glazing makes for the ultimate in sensible year-round living.
