Energy Star changes took effect on April 1st 2010.

August 16th, 2010

ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money through energy efficient products and practices. Energy prices have become a hot news topic and a major concern for consumers. ENERGY STAR provides solutions. ENERGY STAR provides a trustworthy label on many building products categories for the home. These products deliver the same or better performance as comparable models while using less energy and saving money. ENERGY STAR also provides easy-to-use home and building assessment tools so that homeowners and building managers can start down the path to greater efficiency and cost savings.

Due to the standards that became effective in 2010, some products may not be able to meet the Energy Star requirements in all zones. Please verify all products thermal numbers meet or exceed the code to ensure you qualify for credits and pass local inspections and building codes. As always, keep visiting PlatinumPatio.com for blog posts, advertisements, and listings of available products that qualify.
